Quote

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.

When actors aren't filming they just go to their dressing rooms and relax.

I used to be self conscious about my height, but then I thought, f*** that, I'm Harry Potter.

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.

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.

My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.

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 get constantly mistaken for Elijah Wood. I was in Japan and someone held out a photo of him for me to sign.

There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.

I think I have just always had an awareness that when you go to a premiere and people start cheering and shouting your name and stuff, they are shouting at a perception of you that they have.

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'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.

Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself.

And the people I'm best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.

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.

My friends have always called me 'Mr. Thorough,' in that when I get into something, I become obsessed with it.

I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.

Personally, I prefer the dark side.

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 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.

As an artist, you have a path that you're on that evolves with the kinds of stories you want to tell.
