I'm an anorak. I've always been an obsessive collector of things. Richard Briers collects stamps. I collect cars and guns, which are much more expensive, and much more difficult to store.

Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter - you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.

This is serious car collector stuff.

There's no subtext in 'Harry Potter,' really; it's all magic - anything can happen. Why do I say this? Because it's a magic spell. It's quite nice in a way. There is a real freedom to it. Doesn't say much for acting, does it?

Roosevelt was a big collector -- stamps, models. His whole house was brimming with stuff.

I was very impressed. You wouldn't expect someone to do it. You might collect stamps. This guy collects old HP equipment. ... It was very well done. It was very classy the way he put it together.
