I remember Paul [Dano] had said at one point that when he finished this film [Swiss Army Man] was the strongest he'd ever been just from lugging me around for [several] weeks.

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

My preparation is mainly just knowing the lines and getting in and knowing where your character is, knowing what it's about and having ideas that you can put in on the day.

When you're in the position I'm in, you have two options: you can either shut yourself off from everybody, from the world, and not live a full life. Or you welcome everybody into your life and occasionally somebody will try to take advantage.

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.

Image
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.

I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anyone else.

We would choreograph [ with Paul Dano] before each scene [in Swiss Army Man] and very quickly got to a place where we could improvise physically in scene and know that the other person would respond in character appropriately. So that [dynamic] was a lot of fun.

I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.

Image
To be honest, I would like to have worked with Peter Sellers, because when people talk about classic British actors, you talk about Lawrence Olivier, and Peter Sellers was just in the most amazing films.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
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.

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

You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.

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.
Daniel Radcliffe
Image
I used to be self conscious about my height, but then I thought, f*** that, I'm Harry Potter.

That's what fame does to you. You acquire another self.

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.

Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie's Coltrane to speak in Turkish.

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

I think I'm always very naïve. With 'Kill Your Darlings' and 'Horns', I'm like, Why wouldn't everybody love this? But I guess it's going to divide people in some ways. But if you're willing to go with it and suspend your disbelief, you're going to get something amazing and something unlike anything else.
