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'.

A gay murder movie is never going to be, like, breaking box office records.

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.

And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.

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.

I think Harry Potter's very important. Every opportunity I will get for the rest of my life, I would not have got if it wasn't for Harry Potter. And it would be height of ingratitude if I was ever anything but proud to be associated with these films.

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

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.

I'm into weird kind of, anything that resembles magical realism.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

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

Because of the life I've had, I'd grown up quicker than most people.

I'm not too worried about humanity in the future. I think we've got an innate ability as a species to self-correct.

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 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.
