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.

More quotes by Daniel Radcliffe
There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that's been the realization of the past few years for me.
Daniel Radcliffe
I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
It was a lot of fun to play a character [in Swiss Army Man] with no inhibitions, and with no knowledge of the world, and who comes into the world kind of like a blank slate. It means there's no template or blueprint for how you need to play certain scenes.
Daniel Radcliffe
I might like to be an actor, but there are loads of other things I'm interested in as well, like music and writing and sports. I want to keep my options open.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
I'll miss some of the opportunities that playing Harry [Potter] brought me.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
The happiest I ever am is spending time with a group of really good friends. That's all I aspire to in life, really.
Daniel Radcliffe
And the people I'm best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.'
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
I'm not too worried about humanity in the future. I think we've got an innate ability as a species to self-correct.
Daniel Radcliffe
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.
Daniel Radcliffe
