Also Catcher in the Rye, which happens to be one of my favorite books, I just found that kind of useful. It helps you get into the American accent.

I'm not a sad person, upset the whole time, but I seem to be quite emotional.
Freddie Highmore

Cinema Paradiso' is a fantastic film, I love that.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I'm pretty rubbish, as we say in Britain, artwise, and I always envy people who can pick up something and even do just a little doodle of someone that looks vaguely like them. It's impressive.
Freddie Highmore

Johnny Depp is probably the best actor.
Freddie Highmore

It was great to do August Rush and have all the challenges of playing that character, especially the American accent for the first time and also playing the guitar and the conducting I had to do.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I don't go home and pretend I'm August rather than just the actual lines I'm saying in the film. If you do it that way, it makes it more natural and second nature. After awhile you get used to it and there's so much, especially being in New York to film you're always surrounded by American people.

I always try doing a different character for every film so it's not just changing one.
Freddie Highmore
Image
Every day is a different day in New York there's always something new going on.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I think I've always been kept grounded. I've never been too involved with the movie business apart from just doing the film. I've never moved out to LA like a lot of people or been too drawn in by that.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script.

For every different role you play it's nice to have different challenges for each one.
Freddie Highmore
Image
Don't get too set on becoming an actor at an early age. I think that's where some people get into trouble. Acting becomes their life. I don't want that.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I never really acted at school. It was doing small parts on TV that really got me started.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I'm sure everyone has many types of music that they enjoy.
Freddie Highmore
Image
There's never been a particular band that I've followed religiously. But I do tend to listen to sadder music.
Freddie Highmore
Image
People build up a picture of Johnny Depp as being some sort of weird pirate character. In reality he's incredibly nice... one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Freddie Highmore
Image
I like to go to bed early so I can get up early.
Freddie Highmore

It seemed really easy waving your hands around, it wouldn't make any difference if you were moving it left or right, but I wanted to do it realistically. I think you can tell if someone doesn't know what they're doing.
