More From Daniel Radcliffe

Every Job I Do, I Like To Think It Makes Me Better Or I Learn Things. It's All About How Much Something's Going To Stretch Me Or Test Me.

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

Some People Are Asking Me Questions Like This Is A More Shocking Subject, Which Is So Strange.

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.

I Could Never Do Stand-up Because It's That Thing Of Having To Get Up On Stage. And Out Of Every 10 Jokes You Tell, Nine Of Them Have To Get A Really Good Response.

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

I Seem To Be A Long-term Relationship Kinda Guy.

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.

You Have To Find Out Who You Are Aside From What The Media Say You Are. If You've Become Reliant On Them For Kind Of A Sense Of Self, Then You're Really Screwed.

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

Love Relationship

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

I Love Just Going Out And Sitting Down In The Park Along With The Thousands Of Other People Who Apparently Have No Work To Do During The Day. People Come Up To Me, But They Are Generally Really Nice. New York Makes It Easier, For Me At Least. People Manage To Be Enthusiastic And Sort Of Sane At The Same Time. And That’s Lovely.

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.

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.

Go Boldly And Honestly Through The World. Learn To Love The Fact That There Is Nobody Else Quite Like You.

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.

[i] Take Inspiration From Kids. ... They're Very Honest In How They Act And How They Are In The World.

You Never Want To Be Forced To Do Something. But The World Around You Starts To Influence You In Ways You Never Expected.

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

I Used To Joke I Was A Point-and-click Actor. My Whole Process Has Been About Trusting Your Instincts And Hitting Your Mark.

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

As An Actor, There Is Room For A Certain Amount Of Creativity, But You're Always Ultimately Going To Be Saying Somebody Else's Words. I Don't Think I'd Have The Stamina, Skill Or Ability To Write A Novel, But I'd Love To Write Short Stories And Poetry, Because Those Are My Two Passions.

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'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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

I Have Described Myself As Being 'gently Eccentric.'

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

I Get Constantly Mistaken For Elijah Wood.

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.

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.

I'm A Huge Fan Of Brad Pitt. He Could Have Done Rom-coms His Entire Career, But He Took It In A Different Direction.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I Haven’t Always Been Thrilled With My Work. But The Fear Of Not Proving The People Wrong Who Think You Can’t Emerge From A Franchise And Do Well, That’s A Very Strong Driving Force.

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.'

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

I Definitely Think The Idea Of Friend Zone Is Just Men Going, 'this Woman Won't Have Sex With Me.'

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.

'insane Farting Corpse' Is A Really Hard Movie To Do A Q&a For. The Audience Is Still Kind Of Reeling And Being Like, "i Don't Know What To Ask."

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.

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 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.

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

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.

I Want To Prove To People That I'm An Actor And Not Just A Character.

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.

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

Working Hard Is Important. But There Is Something That Matters Even More, Believing In Yourself.

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

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

Normally I Sit There In The Films Really Hating Watching Myself. Loving Watching The Films, Hating Watching Myself.

I Really Enjoy Working Physically.

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.

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 Know Me, And I Know That I'm Not Somebody That Particularly Merits A Lot Of Screaming And Shouting. And There's Nothing Special About Me As Opposed To Hundreds Of Thousands Of Other People Everywhere.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I Just Have This Fear That I'll Get On Stage And There'll Be That Brief Moment Of Adrenalin And I'll Forget My Line.

With Any Kind Of Artistic Thing, It's A Muscle, Like Any Athlete, And The Moment You're Not Doing It, You Lose All Confidence. That's Why I'm Terrible With Down Time.

What I Love About The Gay Thing Is That Every Single Person I Type Into Google, It Doesn't Matter If It's Florence Welch, Anybody, If You Are Not Being Called Gay You Don't Have A Career. That's My Theory!

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.

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.

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

I've Always Had A Slightly Overactive Imagination.

Overactive Imaginations

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.

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.

My Mom And Dad Were Actors When They Were Younger And Had A Horrible Experience Of It. My Dad Became A Literary Agent And My Mom A Casting Director.

I’m An Atheist, And A Militant Atheist When Religion Starts Impacting On Legislation.

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

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

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

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.

The American Version Of 'the Office' Is Fantastic.

What First Attracted Me To Doing Swiss Army Man Was Just How Mental It Was - How Insane And Wonderful And Original The Script Was.

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!

Obviously, I've Been Very Lucky In General In My Career, But I Feel That I've Been Very Lucky In Terms Of Having Directors Come Along At The Right Times Who Have Taken Me To The Next Level Of Where I Needed To Be.

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 Certainly Want To Establish Myself As An Actor In My Own Right, Rather Than Being Just The Actor Who Plays Harry Potter.

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'.

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

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

I Think It's Kind Of Great, To Be Honest. I'll Never Do Another Film [like Swiss Army Man] Where I Get To Talk About Those Things, So I Might As Well Enjoy It While I Can.

There's No Shame In Enjoying The Quiet Life.

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.

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.

That's What Fame Does To You. You Acquire Another Self.

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

In Some Ways, You Get To Find Your Voice Better In [a Sequel] Because You Have To Define How You're Doing It Differently.

I'm Not A Religious Person. My Mom Was Of Jewish Blood And My Dad Was Protestant.

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.

My Parents Were What I Like To Call Proper Musical Fans. Lots Of Sondheim Was Played In The Car.

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.

I'm Possibly A Very Morbid Person But I Think About Death A Lot.

If You're Having A Bad Day, Get On With Your Job, Because You Having A Bad Day Can Affect Everyone Around You.

Having A Bad Day

I Think Of Myself As Being Jewish And Irish, Despite The Fact That I'm English.

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

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.

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

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.

I Just Got Asked By Another Journalist 'are You A Feminist?' And I Was Just Like... Is There A Strange Thing At The Moment Where You Have To Come Out As A Feminist? I've Been Asked If I'm A Feminist So Many Times Recently, And I'm Just Like 'yes, Yes, For God's Sake, Yes! Is There Something That I Give Off That Says I'm Not?'

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.

Don't Try Too Hard To Be Something You're Not.

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 Played Bass For A Year, But I Wasn't Getting Better At It, So I Decided To Stop So I Could See My Friends.

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

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

Religion Leaves No Room For Human Complexity.

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

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.

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 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 Do Incredible Things For Love, Particularly For Unrequited Love.

Unrequited Love

I Have A Very Busy Personality.

I Am A Frighteningly Thorough Person.

Paul [dano] Was Amazing At Carrying Me Around [in Swiss Army Man]. I Wanted To Be There As Much As Possible But Didn't Want To Hurt Paul's Back, But Paul Often Chose Me Over The Dummy Many Times On The Set. But Yeah, To Be Honest, A Little Bit Of Preparation I Did With My Friend In My Flat Could Never Have Prepared Me For Quite The Level Of Physical Reliance We Would Have On Each Other.

A Friend Often Says I'm An Old Man In A Young Man's Husk. I Like That. I Am Old-fashioned In Some Ways.

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

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

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

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

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'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.

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.

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?"

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.

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.

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.

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

Magical Realism

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

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.

Being Self-critical Is Good; Being Self-hating Is Destructive. There's A Very Fine Line There Somewhere, And I Walk It Carefully.

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.

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

We Would Choreograph [ With Paul Dano] Before Each Scene [in Swiss Army Man] And Very Quickly Got To A Place Where We Could Improvise Physically In Scene And Know That The Other Person Would Respond In Character Appropriately. So That [dynamic] Was A Lot Of Fun.

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 Absolutely Don't Relate To Being Beaten Down My Whole Life - I Had Amazing Opportunities At A Young Age - But There Is Still In Many, Many People's Minds The Notion That I'll Never Be Able To Escape Harry Potter.

Amazing Opportunities

I Don't Know Where My Romanticism Comes From. My Mom And Dad Would Read To Me A Lot. 'treasure Island,' 'robinson Crusoe,' Tales Of Chivalry And Knights, Things Like That. Those Are The Stories I Loved Growing Up.

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

I Wasn't The Most Popular Kid In School.

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

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.

A Gay Murder Movie Is Never Going To Be, Like, Breaking Box Office Records.

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

When You're In The Position I'm In, You Have Two Options: You Can Either Shut Yourself Off From Everybody, From The World, And Not Live A Full Life. Or You Welcome Everybody Into Your Life And Occasionally Somebody Will Try To Take Advantage.

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'm Not Too Worried About Humanity In The Future. I Think We've Got An Innate Ability As A Species To Self-correct.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I Don't Want To Say I'll Never Play Someone With A Cockney Accent, But I Think I Would Be Irritated By Me Doing It.

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'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 Know It Wouldn't Seem Like I've Had A Lot Of Failure In My Career, But There Are Things That I Regard As Failures, When I Look At Certain Performances And Go, 'that's Not Good Enough.'

Not Good Enough

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!

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?'

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

I Feel Like My Evolution Has Come To A Place Where Now I'm Attached To Crazy Rich Asians.

I'm Not An Easy Person To Love. There Are Lots Of Times When I'm A Very Good Boyfriend, But There Are Times When I'm Useless. I Mean, I'm A Mess Around The House. I Talk Nonstop. I Become Obsessed With Things.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
