“The building of America has had its fair share of mistakes, but it's a constitut…” — Gary Oldman

It's always hard when you're playing someone for a lot of people out there who are going to see the movie after reading the books. There's a communion between a reader and the writer, so people will have an idea who Sirius Black is and I might not be everyone's idea of that.

If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.

I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano.

I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself.
