If I can make a career for myself after Harry Potter, and it goes well, and is varied and with longevity, then that puts to bed the 'child actors argument'.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has confessed that until recently, he thought the 16-year-old fellow tween idol [Justin Bieber] was a female. 'I only heard Justin Bieber for the first time two weeks ago. I genuinely thought it was a woman singing. I'd never heard it before. Is it big in England yet?'

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.'

Both of my parents have been actors there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

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.

In my experience of doing physical scenes, half of your energy is spent on trying to get the other actor to enter into it physically with you. Most actors don't want to hurt each other.

I'm not clumsy just accident prone.

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.

Dane DeHaan, certainly, is kind of the best friend I've made through acting, in terms of another actor. He's fantastic.

Those things [t hydraulic penises and prosthetic butts and all that] can be what's genuinely shocking about the movie [Swiss Army Man] because people wouldn't expect to be moved by any of it.

It's important to say that the more challenging a scene is, in a way, the more fun it is because the more of my job I get to do.

I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.

There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that's been the realization of the past few years for me.

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

I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

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.

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.

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.

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

It's interesting for myself, growing up as an Asian-American filmmaker. Coming into the industry, my parents always said, No one's going to give you the opportunity. You just have to do the work. Be better than everyone else, so they can't deny it.

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.
