Magic symbolises the subconscious - that part of us that is creative and powerful that we sometimes don't tap into.

I love Bethnal Green and where I'm from. Nothing there, especially the people, ever held me back, but I never felt that I was successful there.

I could not be one of those actors who stays in character all day long. I'd go mad.

I don't look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. When you put me on the screen, the women don't want to make love to me, and the men don't want to be me.
