More From Daniel Radcliffe

All It Takes Is For Me To Be Seen Chatting Up A Girl For [tabloids] To, You Know, Make Up Some Crappy Headline About Me Being A Sex Rat Or Whatever They Call It.

The One Piece Of Advice I Would Give To Any Actor Is, If You Want To Go Out On The Street Without Being Recognised, Without Even Being Looked At, Go Out With A 6ft 8in Beautiful Transsexual. No One Gives You A Second Glance. Especially When You're 5ft 5in.

One Of The Things That I Cannot Fathom Is Young Actors Who Will Not Audition And Won't Read.

I've Always Thought That As Long As Directors And Casting Directors Don't See Me As Just Harry Potter, I'll Be Ok. People Have Shown A Lot Of Faith In Me, And I Owe Them A Huge Debt. They're Letting Me Prove That I'm Serious About This.

There's An Incredible Comfort Level That I Have On Film Sets Because It's Where I've Grown Up.

I Think Pressure Is A Good Thing And It's Good To Be Able To Feel It And Use It And Experience The Feeling Of It And Especially If You Can Get Past It.

The Master And Margarita Is My Favorite. To Me It’s The Greatest Exploration Of The Human Imagination.

I Still Have Issues Around Forgetting That It's My Life And If I Want To Do Something, I Can Do It.

I Think I'm Always Very Naïve. With 'kill Your Darlings' And 'horns', I'm Like, "why Wouldn't Everybody Love This?" But I Guess It's Going To Divide People In Some Ways. But If You're Willing To Go With It And Suspend Your Disbelief, You're Going To Get Something Amazing And Something Unlike Anything Else.

I'm Also A Fan Of Ridiculously Coloured And Patterned Socks.

As Much As I Would Love To Be A Person That Goes To Parties And Has A Couple Of Drinks And Has A Nice Time - That Doesn't Work For Me. I Do That Very Unsuccessfully. I'd Just Rather Sit At Home And Read, Or Go Out To Dinner With Someone, Or Talk To Someone I Love, Or Talk To Somebody That Makes Me Laugh.

The Thought Of Dancing Scared Me. A Lot. Because I Have Absolutely No Aptitude For It.

I'm Not Clumsy; Just Accident Prone.

As An Actor, I Think Sort Of Relish The Chance To Take A Leap And Sort Of Put Yourself Out There. You Know, It's, Like On Any Film, You Just Have To Be Willing To Embarrass Yourself, Because Otherwise You Are Not Going To Really Reveal Anything That You Have. So I Think It's Exciting.

I Get Constantly Mistaken For Elijah Wood.

Part Of An Actor's Job Is To Find Correlations Between Your Own Life And The Life Of The Person You Are Playing.

My Friends Have Always Called Me 'mr. Thorough,' In That When I Get Into Something, I Become Obsessed With It.

A Lot Of Modern Horror Can Leave Me Cold, And I'm Not Good With Blood And Gore And All That Stuff. It's Not Fun For Me. There's Nothing Entertaining About Watching A Film Like That.

The Real Challenge Of Acting For Me, I Suppose, Is Just Getting To Know A Character Very, Very Well And Just Applying What I Know About Them To Every Single Scene. That's What It Can Be Broken Down To.

The Stories I'm Interested In Are Challenging Ones, And Maybe That Requires A Little Bit More Of You. I Love My Job And I Want To Earn The Right To Do It Every Single Day.

I Was Very Sad To Leave Harry Potter But Equally There Will Be An Element Of Excitement About The Idea That A Script Might Come In And I Don't Have To Go: "i'm Sorry, I'm Kind Of Busy For The Next Four Years." The Idea Of That Is Quite Exciting.

The American Version Of 'the Office' Is Fantastic.

Richard [griffiths] Was By My Side During Two Of The Most Important Moments Of My Career. In August 2000, Before Official Production Had Even Begun On Potter, We Filmed A Shot Outside The Dursleys', Which Was My First Ever Shot As Harry. I Was Nervous And He Made Me Feel At Ease. Seven Years Later, We Embarked On 'equus' Together. It Was My First Time Doing A Play But, Terrified As I Was, His Encouragement, Tutelage And Humor Made It A Joy. In Fact, Any Room He Walked Into Was Made Twice As Funny And Twice As Clever Just By His Presence.

How Irritating It Must Be For People, To Be Bombarded With Me!

I Always Feel That If You Put Me In A Room With A Director And A Writer And Let Me Talk About The Script, I Can Give A Good Account Of Myself.

And Well Historically It's Never Been A Good Thing To Compare Yourself To Biblical Characters.

I Really Enjoy Working Physically.

I Mean I've Seen 3d Films So Far And I Think It's A Long Way To Go Before They Replace Actors. It's A Funny Thing With 3d, I Haven't Quite Got It Yet. Yet.

Acting Is Really Instinctual And I Think You Can Overanalyse What You're Doing. A Lot Of It Has To Be Based On Instinct.

Fame Is Damaging When People Become Reliant On It For Their Sense Of Self, And Their Identity, When Fame Is Linked To How You See Yourself.

I've Been Working Since I Was 9, And I've Never Known A Life Without A Film Set.

There Is Something Inherently Valuable About Being A Misfit. It's Not To Say That Every Person Who Has Artistic Talent Was A Social Outcast, But There Is Definitely A Value For Identifying Yourself Differently And Being Proud That You Are Different.

I'm Certainly Lucky To Have Got Famous Through Something That Was So Well Liked, Generally Speaking.

I Don't Think That You Necessarily Need A Certain Type Of Background To Take On Roles. You See Actors From Very, Very Privileged Backgrounds Playing Working Class Characters And Vice-versa. I Don't Think Your Background Limits You As To What You Can Do.

In Terms Of Drama School, What That Will Give You That You Won't Necessarily Learn On A Film Set Is The Technical Ability - Ie, Projecting Your Voice And Stage Craft.

I Definitely Want To Go On Acting For As Long As I Can Find Employment. I'm Never Happier Than When I'm On A Film Set. I Just Want To Keep Working.

Realizing That Other People Have A Problem With [homosexuality] Was The Weirdest Thing For Me. As A Kid It Wasn't Even Something That Was Mentioned. It Was Never Something That Was Even Explained To Me. It Was Just, "that's Mark And He's Gay." Mark Was Just Another Friend Of My Dad's Who Would Talk About His Boyfriend Instead Of His Girlfriend. I Was 5. I Didn't Care. It Seemed Perfectly Normal, And Still Does.

I'm Not Clean Or Even Vaguely Pleasant To Be Around In A Domestic Situation.

The Happiest I Ever Am Is Spending Time With A Group Of Really Good Friends. That's All I Aspire To In Life, Really.

I'm Into Weird Kind Of, Anything That Resembles Magical Realism.

Magical Realism

I've Never Been One Of The Cool People At School, But Then Again, I Don't Get The People Who Are Cool. It's Not That I Don't Like Them, It's Just That They Don't Interest Me.

I Think I'm A Tiny Bit Like Harry 'cos I'd Like To Have An Owl. Yeah, That's The Tiny Bit, Actually.

I Pretty Much Left Full-time, Formal Education When I Was 11. So That Was When I Was Taken Out Of The School System... I Think The Longest Stretch I Would Go Back For Was A Term And A Half When I Was About 14.

I'm Very Comfortable Discussing My Personal Life, Because It's So Boring.

I'm Quite Confident, But I Don't Fancy Myself. I Don't Really Care About How I Look.

I Would Love To Work In America. I Wouldn't Love To Live There, But I'd Love To Experience Working There.

My Dad's Got A Brilliant Eye For Scripts 'cos He's A Literary Agent. He And My Agent Read A Load Of Scripts And Filter Them.

I Love Steve Carell And Will Ferrell - They're My Heroes.

I Enjoy Any Type Of Physical Transformation. I Enjoy Working With The Hair And Makeup Department And I Enjoy Watching People Be Very Good At Their Jobs.

I'll Miss Some Of The Opportunities That Playing Harry [potter] Brought Me.

I Meet Hundreds Of People, And I'm Not Going To Remember Them. But Every Single One Of Them Will Remember Their Interaction With Me.

If You Spent A Proper Amount Of Time With Me, You Would Probably Wonder If I Was On Drugs - I'm Not. I'm Just Incredibly Hyperactive And Manic. I Can Be Quiet And Serious At The Same Time.

I Would Say I Was Challenging The System Quite. But I Like To Think That If The Choices I Make Are Slightly Unexpected Or Challenging To People, Then That Is Good. We Are Definitely Three Fairly Like-minded People In Terms Of What We Value In Scripts And In Storytelling.

I Used To Be Self Conscious About My Height, But Then I Thought, F*** That, I'm Harry Potter.

If I Die On A Film Set When I'm 80, I'll Be Happy With That.

I'm Getting Better Now, But I Used To Be Incredibly Awkward With Girls. I Think Any Guy Who Says 'i've Never Had An Awkward Moment With A Girl' Is A Liar.

No. I Can Quite Happily Say Someone Is Handsome, Good-looking, And I Can See Why Someone Would Want To F**k Them, But I've Never Felt That Way About A Man Myself. There Is That Moment In Your Late Teens When You Ask Yourself The Question, 'am I?' But I Wasn'twell, This Year I Have A Talent Crush On Ryan Gosling. I Think He's Fantastic And(ahem) You Know He'd Be Nice Afterwards. He Seems Smart. If I Was Gay, I Would Go For A Smart Man.

I Was Very Much A Product Of The Public-school System. There Was Only One Other Kid In My Class Who Had Parents Not Involved In The Stock Market Or Law.

I Like The Idea Of Being A Youngish Parent. So I've Got Energy To Play Football Even Though They'll Be Better Than Me By The Time They're Four.

I Think It's Useful, As A Famous Person, To Have As Little Separation Between The Perception Of You And How You Really Are - Because Otherwise I'd Be Sitting Here Thinking I'm Keeping Secrets, And Wondering When You're Going To Find Out.

Keeping Secrets

Well, I Think I’m A Feminist, Just By The Virtue Of The Fact That I Believe In Equal Rights For Everyone.

I'm Sure When I Have A Nostalgic, Teary Moment In 10 Years Time, I'll Try To Put The Glasses When I Was 10 On And Cry To Myself In Front Of The Mirror

I Think I Tried To Steal A Mars Bar Once From A Shop But Then I Went And Put It Back.

I Think Any Man Who Says He Has Never Had An Awkward Moment With A Girl, Is A Liar Or He's Delusional Because He's Sitting There Thinking He Is Doing Really Well And The Girl Is Thinking "who Is This Man And Why Is He Talking To Me?"

There's No Shame In Enjoying The Quiet Life.

I've Learnt A Lot About Certain Things But You Also Learn Through Your Own Experience.

Shyness Displays Itself Differently In Me. I Think It's More An Awkwardness.

I Love Coming Home To Somebody, I Love Being In A Relationship.

Love Relationship

I've Worked Every Day Since I Was 10. I Don't Know How To Do Anything Else. There Is Nothing Else I'd Rather Be Doing.

Sometimes You Can't Help But Pay Attention To What Is Written About You. You Are Trying Not To Because It's Generally Not Constructive, It Can Be Very Funny, In Which Case It's Fine To Pay Attention To It If You're Going To Laugh About It. But If It's Going To Get You Angry Then It's A Pretty Pointless Waste Of Energy, So I Try And Be Selective About What I Take An Interest In About Myself.

My Taste In The Films I've Taken As An Actor Is Similar To What I'd Do A Director Or Writer: All Quite Odd, Challenging Stuff, Slightly Off-the-wall.

When I Get Into Trouble At School I'd Like To Take An Invisibility Cloak, Drape It Over Me And Sneak Out The Door. Or I'd Like To Have A 3 Headed-dog Because Then No One Would Argue With Me.

Invisibility Cloak

I'm Very Proud Of Being Jewish. It Means I Have A Good Work Ethic, And You Get Jewish Humour And You're Allowed To Tell Jewish Jokes.

If I Was Left To My Own Devices, You Would See About Ten T-shirts In Rotation With Maybe A Few Nice Pairs Of Jeans - But I Also Like To Look Good. I Like Feeling Really Well Put Together, I Just Don't Have The Aptitude And The Knowledge To Do That.

My Job To Make Sure That Thing Is Kick-ass - Takes The Mold, Jumps On It, Throws Glitter All Over It, Smashes It, Kicks It Around, And Drops The Mic. If We Don't Do That, Then We Deserve Not To Have A Hit.

It's Really Good To Talk About It [ Hydraulic Penises And Prosthetic Butts], And It's Very Gratifying When People Ask Us About The Other Aspects Of The Film [swiss Army Man], But [those Things] Are Part Of The Movie And They're Important And Hilarious, A Very Fun Part Of The Movie, So There's No Sense From Us Of Not Wanting To Talk About That. I Think It's Exciting That Those Things Exist In A Film That Is Also Very Heartfelt And Emotional And Profound.

I've Always Had A Slightly Overactive Imagination.

Overactive Imaginations

I Remember Paul [dano] Had Said At One Point That When He Finished This Film [swiss Army Man] Was The Strongest He'd Ever Been Just From Lugging Me Around For [several] Weeks.

If You're On A Date And Somebody Comes Up And Says, "oh, I Loved You In Harry Potter," It's A Bit Weird, Because You Suddenly Start Thinking, "oh, God. Is This Weird For The Other Person I'm Here With, Or Is This Weird For My Family?" But Generally Speaking, I Don't Really Think Because I Was Thrown Into It So Young And Kind Of Always Had That, It's Just Something You Get Used To. And Most Of The Time... It Was Interesting.

As An Artist, You Have A Path That You're On That Evolves With The Kinds Of Stories You Want To Tell.

The Idea The Actors Are The Most Important People On A Film Set I Think Is Very Stupid. Actors Are The Most Replaceable People There. There Are Literally Millions Of Us. There's Very Few People That Can Operate A Steady-cam. The Numbers Are A Lot, Lot Fewer For That, You Know?

It's Almost A Problem How Much I Enjoy My Work.

There Is Always This Thing Of Will You Get Too Old For Your Part? But People Are Playing A Lot Younger Than They Actually Are In Real Life. I Don't Think It's As Big An Issue As A Lot Of People Are Making It Out To Be.

I Am Very Critical! I Hate Watching Myself But I Know I Have To Because I'm Going To Be Asked So I Need To Have Some Sort Of Semblance Of What The Films With Me Are Like. But It's Not An Enjoyable Experience Watching Yourself. I Hate It Less Than I Used To But I Still Don't Enjoy It.

I Was Worried On A Personal Level Because I Wanted To Be Slightly Taller Than I Am, Ideally. But I've Now Accepted It. Basically, I Came To The Conclusion A While Ago That You Can Either Be Really Bitter About It Or You Can Make Loads Of Funny Jokes.

You Pick Projects For The Part, The Director, And The Script. I Just Want To Do Different, Interesting Stuff.

I'm 5-foot-5, And I'll Wear A Big Parka And Put The Hood Up, And Nobody Gives Me A Second Glance.

Just Keep Acting Is My Plan, I Just Want To Keep Going For As Long As I Can. I've Had A Fantastic Time On Potter, I Will Be Very Sad To Leave It Because Every Time I Look Back On One Of These Films, Every Scene I Watch Will Be Forever Linked To A Memory Of What Happened That Day Or Something That Was Happening Around That Time In My Life.

I Take Things In Better When I'm Allowed To Talk, And Respond, And Engage And Move Around A Bit.

My Dad Believes In God, I Think. I'm Not Sure If My Mom Does. I Don't.

I Always Saw Michael Gambon Wearing Madly Psychedelic Socks, And I Always Thought That's It Is One Of The Few Areas Where Men Can Really Express Colour And Have A Bit Of A Dandyish Quality To Their Outfit.

I Was In The Bath At The Time, And My Dad Came Running In And Said, 'guess Who They Want To Play Harry Potter!?' And I Started To Cry. It Was Probably The Best Moment Of My Life.

The Most Wonderful Thing I Hear Is People Coming Up And Saying 'thank You For My Childhood', Which Still Blows My Mind But Is Very Sweet.

There's No Blueprint For Where I Should Be. I See Myself As A Young, Good Actor Who Still Has A Lot To Learn. There's Nobody At Any Point In Their Career Who Is The Finished Article.

I'm Possibly A Very Morbid Person But I Think About Death A Lot. I Don't Know If It's Maybe From Being On Films That's Often Playing Harry [potter] Or I Just Think It's A Natural Thing That I Have. It's Something That I Think About Just Because It's Fascinating In A Very Alien Kind Of Way.

Personally, I Prefer The Dark Side.

I Don't Know What To Do With It. I'm Very Fortunate To Have It, And It Gives You Room To Maneuver. But The Main Thing About Having Money Is It Means You Don't Have To Worry About It. And That For Me Is A Lovely Thing. It's Not For Fast Cars And Hookers.

I've Always Had Philosophy, Which Has Been Really Helpful For Me, Getting Into The Business. I Didn't Have Any Connections. I Didn't Know Anyone. It Was Just About My Work.

I Had One Relative Who Passed Away But Fortunately None Others. So My Sort Of Experience Of It Is Quite Limited, Thankfully.

I Am A Frighteningly Thorough Person.

I Think Harry Potter's Very Important. Every Opportunity I Will Get For The Rest Of My Life, I Would Not Have Got If It Wasn't For Harry Potter. And It Would Be Height Of Ingratitude If I Was Ever Anything But Proud To Be Associated With These Films.

I Have Quite A Rich Inner Life, And I'm Constantly Looking For A Way To Express That. I Haven't Found It Yet In Acting. When You're Playing A Character, You're Only Going To Find Outlets For Very Specific Parts Of Your Inner World.

I Just Want To Keep Working, Really. I Just Want To Keep Acting. Playing One Part For A Very Long Time Builds Up In You A Desire To Play As Many Different Things As You Can.

I Don't Think There's Anything That I Would Really Baulk At Doing On-screen. I Don't Think So. I've Got Certain Pet Peeves About Writing... My Pet Peeve About Reading Scripts Is When They Give You A Line Reading And There'll Be A Line But Next To Your Character's Name It'll Say 'very Angry'. But I'm Like: "well, I'll Decide That Actually!" So, There's Little Things Like That. That's A Slight Pet Peeve.

To Be Honest, I Would Like To Have Worked With Peter Sellers, Because When People Talk About Classic British Actors, You Talk About Lawrence Olivier, And Peter Sellers Was Just In The Most Amazing Films.

I Want To Write And Direct, But I Don't Think If I Did It For 100 Years I Would Ever Come Close To Putting Something Out There That Gives A Feeling Of All-encompassing And Joyous.

The Art World Can Be Very Intimidating Because It's Just So Vast. You Talk To People Who Are Really Clued In To All The Young Artists And Coming Into It You're Never Going To Be Able To Catch Up Immediately, Even Though There's Pressure To.

Franchises Aren't To Be Avoided. They Can Be Exciting, And They Give You Opportunities To Do Other Films.

I'm Not Clumsy, I'm Just Accident Prone.

Directing Is More What I Would Like To Get Into Eventually. Frankly, I Feel Like It Would Be A Waste If I Didn't Because I've Spent So Much Time On Film Sets, And I Know How They Work, And I Love Them, And I Love Leading Them. I Would Like To Do That As A Director Definitely.

I Feel Very English In A Suit. There's Something About Being In A Suit Abroad, Particularly In America, That Feels Empowering.

We Sing A Lot Of The Soundtrack In This Film [swiss Army Man] - Me And Paul Dano - And On The Last Day Of Filming We Had To Just Get Into The Back Of Our Sound Mixer's Van And Record A Really Crappy, Rough Version Of The Singing Then. For Some Reason That Was One Of The Most Fun Days.

I Would Like To Initiate An Initiative - The Broadway Annoying Audience Member Relocation Programme.

Fans Are Really Important For Me. And If They Take Pains To Write Me, It's The Minimum That I Answer Myself.

I Think Being On A Film Set For Such A Long Time Made Me A Technical Actor Without Realizing It.

I Think, As An Actor, And Particularly If You Are Playing The Lead In Something, You Have To View Yourself As The Head Of Department For The Cast. All Of The Other Departments Are Accountable And Have Somebody At The Helm Who Is Leading Them All The Time, And I Don't Think That The Actors Should Be Any Different.

I Like Science And I Love Gym. Oh, And I Like Art, But I'm Really Bad At It. I'm Just A Terrible Drawer. I Can't Draw A Circle. Even With A Ruler, I Can't Draw A Straight Line.

I Know I'm Not A Coal Miner, But I Do Long Hours And I Never Complain, And There Is Nowhere Else I'd Rather Be. So, Yeah, That's How I'd Define Myself. I Want To Do It Right, And Prove People Wrong Once And For All About The Myth Of Child Stars.

Some People Think I Am Gay, Which I Think Is Awesome.

I'm Somebody Who Is Very, Very Proud To Have Been A Part Of The British Film Industry All My Life And To Have Kind Of Been Involved With A Very Important Piece Of British Film History.

There Are Two Types Of Poets: People Who Write Poetically About Their Lives, And Poets That Live Poetically And Write About It.

You Don't Have To Be Gay To Be A Supporter- You Just Have To Be A Human.

If I Can Make A Career For Myself After Harry Potter, And It Goes Well, And Is Varied And With Longevity, Then That Puts To Bed The 'child Actors Argument'.

What I Learned Is That Acting Is To A Large Extent About Trying To Stave Off Self-doubt Long Enough To Be Natural And Real Onstage.

Ironing Boards Are A Classic Example Of Something I Find Horrible About Modern Society: The Excitementation, For Want Of A Better Word, Of Mundane Things.

I Met Elijah Wood Once, I Met Peter Jackson, I Met Orlando Bloom, And They're All Really Cool.

Being In Harry Potter Is Like Being In The Mafia. Once You Are In, You Are Never Really Out.

I Don't Really Care About How I Look.

Those Things [t Hydraulic Penises And Prosthetic Butts And All That] Can Be What's Genuinely Shocking About The Movie [swiss Army Man] Because People Wouldn't Expect To Be Moved By Any Of It.

I Didn't Have That Normal Teenage Period When You Build Up Your Friends In Your Area And You Have A Social Circle.

If You Like The Book, You'll Hate The Movie.

Because I'm Short And Slim, I Can Identify With Somebody Who's An Unlikely Fit For Something And Desperately Wants To Be Part Of It.

For Ages, In My Lunch Hours, I Would Just Go Round And Choreograph Fight Scenes. For Fun. So Now I'm Very Good At Being Thrown Around. I Bounce, In The Words Of My Friends.

I've Done Seven Movies In Eight Years, And With Each Movie I Feel Like I'm Learning A Lot. I'm Still Young-ish, So I Still Feel Like I'm In The Zone Of Learning And Creating. Those Are The Perfect Places To Do That. And In A Weird Way, You Have A Lot Of Freedom.

I Don't Think Of Those Things [from Farting, To Male On Male Affection, To Crossdressing] As Being Taboo, I Suppose, So It Didn't Strike Me As, "oh, I'm Breaking Boundaries And Stuff..."

I'll Say American For Now. I Really Have No Preference, Though. Nationality Is Nothing. It's All About The Girl - But She Has To Be Curvy!

Every Day I Would Come To Set [of Swiss Army Man] Going Like, "how Are We Going To Do This?".

I Grew Up Listening To Show Tunes In The Back Of The Car.

I'm A Serial Monogamist. I'm Not One Of Those People That Can Date Loads Of People At The Same Time, It's All Too Complicated.

For Me, You Go To University To Meet Lots Of Different People From Different Backgrounds. I Think That's One Of The Most Important Things You Get There. And You Also Get Some Sense Of Direction Regarding What You Want To Do When You Leave. I Sort Of Know What I Want To Do In My Life - I Want To Act And Ultimately I'd Like To Write. And In Terms Of Meeting People From Different Backgrounds, That's What You Get On A Film Set. So The Two Most Valuable Things That University Would Have Given Me I've Sort Of Achieved By Being On A Film Set.

In My Experience Of Doing Physical Scenes, Half Of Your Energy Is Spent On Trying To Get The Other Actor To Enter Into It Physically With You. Most Actors Don't Want To Hurt Each Other.

Yes, Gay Marriage Is About Symbolically Blessing A Relationship, But The Larger Issue Is About Transmitting A Fundamental Message About Equality. Gay People Should Have Equality In Law Everywhere.

I Don't Want Anyone To Ever Say That I Don't Belong Where I Am.

I Think Any Actor Worth Their Salt Wants To Show As Much Versatility As They Possibly Can.

Poetry Is Something I Love To Do. Good Poetry Has An Amazing Ability To Be Communicative Before It's Even Understood. I Get Emotional Just From The Beauty Of Words.

Harry Potter Star Daniel Radcliffe Has Confessed That Until Recently, He Thought The 16-year-old Fellow Tween Idol [justin Bieber] Was A Female. 'i Only Heard Justin Bieber For The First Time Two Weeks Ago. I Genuinely Thought It Was A Woman Singing. I'd Never Heard It Before. Is It Big In England Yet?'

There Were Some Parts Of The Film [swiss Army Man] That The Daniels [kwan And Scheinert] Really Wanted To Look As Elegant As A Piece Of Ballet. As Hank And Manny Go On In The Story, They Get Better And Better At Being With Each Other And More And More Adept - Hank Knows More And More What Manny's Going To Need At Any Given Point, And Having That Choreography Helps A Bit.

I Have No Idea How Much Money I've Got.

I Think It Speaks To The Fact That Other People Are As Excited About Originality As We Are. I Think The Thing That Has Been Wonderfully Communicated In The Trailers And All The Promotion For The Movie [swiss Army Man] Is That It Isn't Like Anything Else You've Ever Seen, And We're Not Just Saying That. I Think That Excites People.

When You Get As Lucky As I Got, You Have To Work As Hard As Possible To Earn That Luck.

I Don't Know Why That Is, But English Politics Is Just So Overly White. It's Very Much About The Class Structure.

I Will Never, Ever Do A Film As Successful As The Harry Potter Series. But Neither Will Anyone Else.

There Were A Few Years There When I Was Just So Enamored With The Idea Of Living Some Sort Of Famous Person's Lifestyle That Really Isn't Suited To Me.

All These Things, Social Media Or [smart] Phones Or The Things That Distract Us From Each Other, Are Fairly New. They're All Fairly New Inventions, And I Think We're In A Stage Where We Sort Of As A Whole Have Gotten These New Toys And We're Just Obsessed With Playing With Them. I Feel Like After A Period Of Adjustment It Will Inevitably Be A Regression From Where We Are Now.

Every Day The Daniels [kwan And Scheinert] Would Come Up With Some Amazing Solution And [make It Easy] To Put Yourself In Their Hands. There's Something Really Lovely About Knowing You're Working With Directors Who Know Exactly What They Want And Exactly What They're Looking For, And They're Not Going To Move On Until They Have It. That, As An Actor, Frees You Up A Lot Because You Can [try Different Approaches] And They'll Only Use What's Appropriate.

When Actors Aren't Filming They Just Go To Their Dressing Rooms And Relax.

I Wasn't The Most Popular Kid In School.

Religion Leaves No Room For Human Complexity.

This Is Only Going To Add Fuel To The Fire That I'm Gay. I Don't Really Care. I'm So Past The Point Of Caring. I Really Don't. But I Looked Fantastic In Fleur's Outfit!

I Have A Very Busy Personality.

When You're Seventeen To Early Twenties, That's The Time You're Trying To Work Out Who You Are. If You're Trying To Make Some Kind Of Artistic Or Creative Impact, That's The Age When You Start To Figure Out How To Do That.

I Think Part Of Me Would Love To Play A Drag Queen, Just Because It Would Be An Excuse To Wear Loads Of Eye Makeup.

I Definitely Think That Theatre Is Something I'll Keep Coming Back To In My Career For As Long As I Can. I Also Think Theatre's Something You Have To Be Very Fit To Do. I Am Fairly Fit, But I Don't Think I Could Do It All The Time.

England Is My Home. London Is My Home. New York Feels Like, If I Have To Spend A Year Living In An Unfamiliar City, This Is A Pretty Lovely One To Spend A Year In, But I Will Be Going Home At The End Of It, Certainly.

Also I Just Think I've Been Lucky Enough To Have Great Parents, And I've Had Good People Around Me Who Have Always Been Honest With Me, Who Would Give Me A Purely Metaphorical Slap If I Ever Got Too Big For My Boots.

The Only Thing I Can Think Of Is My Favorite Album At The Moment By This Guy Called Father John Misty, And The Album Is Called I Love You, Honeybear. It's Just Brilliant. It's The Album I'm Currently Obsessed With. It Is Original, And The Lyrics Are Fantastic And [it's] Brilliant. So That's Blowing Me Away.

Some Actresses Are Just Insane. I've Never Worked With A Nasty Actress - They're All Absolutely Delightful. But Completely Barking.

Both Of My Parents Have Been Actors; There Were A Lot Of Show Tunes On In The Car All Of The Time. I Grew Up With That.

It's Interesting Because People Assume That Because I'm Famous I Know All Famous People.

I'm Not Much Of A Cake Person.

My Dad Grew Up In Banbridge, Northern Ireland, Desperate To Get To London. I Grew Up In London, So I Don't Know What It's Like To Yearn For The Big City From A Small Town.

There's No Shame In Enjoying A Quiet Life. And That's Been The Realization Of The Past Few Years For Me.

And I'm Slightly In Love With Scarlett Johansson: She's Just Stunning. And She's Bright, Which Is Incredibly Sexy.

Once Now You See Me Proved That That Tone Could Work, Which I'm Sure Was A Nightmare For Them In Post - Is This Too Serious? Do We Have To Say That Magic Really Does Exist Or Not? - I Can Take That And Have Fun With The Tone That They Established.

And The People I'm Best Friends With On The Films Are Not Generally The Actors.

Mostly, I'm Drawn To Great Characters And Great Worlds That Use Weird Things For Their Language - Whether It's Dance, Whether It's Pop Music With Justin Bieber, Or Whether It's Magic.

I'm An Atheist, But I'm Very Relaxed About It. I Don't Preach My Atheism, But I Have A Huge Amount Of Respect For People Like Richard Dawkins Who Do.

I'm Thrilled Of The Acceptance I Get Abroad. The People Are So Hearty, Warm And Grateful And I Feel Privileged Having Seen So Many Countries And Some Of The Greatest Monuments.

Maybe It's A Compliment To The Film That You Can't Do That With It, That It Can't Be Explained In 15 Seconds.

It's Very Rare That I Get Stopped Or Get Asked For An Autograph Or Anything - None Of Which I Mind - But People Don't Really Care That Much.

I'd Love To Play Puck In 'a Midsummer Night's Dream.'

Dane Dehaan, Certainly, Is Kind Of The Best Friend I've Made Through Acting, In Terms Of Another Actor. He's Fantastic.

People Do Incredible Things For Love, Particularly For Unrequited Love.

Unrequited Love

I Google Myself To See What Come Up When You Google Daniel Radcliffe Because That's Always Amusing.

There's A Lot Of Work That Needs To Be Done, And There's A Difference Between Talking The Talk And Walking The Walk.

Who Are The Executives, And What Are The Stories That Are Being Released? Not Just In Movie Theaters But Online. When You Watch Master Of None, You're Like, Yes, This Is Real Life To Me. These Are Refreshing Types Of Stories.

I Have Described Myself As Being 'gently Eccentric.'

As Far As I Can Tell, Most Actors' Main Motivation Is Self-doubt And Neuroses.

I Think Honesty Is The Most Heroic Quality One Can Aspire To.

I Suppose Whenever You Go Through Periods Of Transition, Or In A Way, It's A Very Definite Closing Of A Certain Chapter Of Your Life. I Suppose Those Times Are Always Going To Be Both Very Upsetting And Also Very Exciting By The Very Nature Because Things Are Changing And You Don't Know What's Going To Happen.

I've Not Got A Girlfriend At The Moment. Somebody Said, 'do You Worry Girls Are Just Giving You Attention Because Of Who You Are?' I Was Like, 'i'm 17, It's Wonderful.'

I'm Not Looking For Sequels, But When Something Comes To You, And You're Already A Fan Of That World, You Have The Desire To Do It Your Way.

I Think One Of My Favorite Things To Do Is Just Lock Myself Up In A Small Room And Listen To Music And Watch Films For A Day. Also I Just Like Seeing My Friends. We Have Pizza Parties Which Means I Get Four Friends Round, We Eat A Pizza And We're Really Lazy And We Play Playstation.

To The Children Who Loved Harry Potter, I Want To Say Your Enthusiasm Was The Real Magic. I So Enjoyed Being On The Journey With You. And To The Adults Who Bought The Harry Potter Books And Devoured Them, I Just Want To Say, Those Books Were For Children.

I Like The Idea Of Not Having To Do Stuff For The Money, And If I Want To, I Can Pick Indie Projects For The Rest Of My Life And Be Quite Happy Doing That.

People Tell Me I Look Mournful. They Say, "cheer Up, Dan, It's Not That Bad!" Sometimes, I Just Look Into Space, Which Freaks People Out. If I Was Ever Required To Do Anything Other Than Look Haunted, I Could. I'm A Happy Person.

Though I Am Not Religious In The Least, I Am Very Proud To Be Jewish.

I Thought I Was An Actor Playing A Wizard. But Really, I Was A Wizard Playing An Actor.

I'm Never Going To Be In Something As Commercially Successful As 'harry Potter' Ever Again. It's Impossible. So That Gives Me Incredible Freedom To Go Off And Make The Slightly Off-the-wall Films That I Want To Make.

I'm Always Amazed At The Way Some Actors' Behaviour Is Truly Disgusting. That's One Thing That Will Never Happen On One Of My Sets If I Ever Direct.
