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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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

Potter for me is something that's been giving me these amazing opportunities to start a career and learn while I'm doing, which is the best way to learn.

Every day I would come to set [of Swiss Army Man] going like, How are we going to do this?.

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

People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.

I've always had, like, from the age of about 11, I've had such an intolerance for bad behaviour of actors that I don't think I was ever going to be that person.

[I] take inspiration from kids. ... They're very honest in how they act and how they are in the world.

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.
