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.

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

'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.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

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.

There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.

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.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

Image
Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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?

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.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
I still have issues around forgetting that it's my life and if I want to do something, I can do it.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

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.
Daniel Radcliffe

I've always had a slightly overactive imagination.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

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 sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'.

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.

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!

I would love to work in America. I wouldn't love to live there, but I'd love to experience working there.
