Quotes
On playing Hagrid in the Harry Potter films:
- "It's an acting job and that's all you have to think about. If you start to worry about that, then you would be able to go on the stage. I still get that feeling whenever I'm standing in front of the camera and whatever I do the next five minutes is going to end up on the big screen and all over the world, it better be good. I find that concentrates the mind."—Robbie ColtraneBlackfilm.com: Interview with Robbie Coltrane (May 2004)
