Alan Rickman told me to do a play, so I did. Because when Alan Rickman tells you do something, you go and do it.

More quotes by Matthew Lewis
I mean, I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them.
Matthew Lewis
I love making people laugh, and to be able to be that humorous character was great. And I actually was very similar to Neville Longbottom. I was very shy and chubby-cheeked. I wasn't bullied at school, but I wasn't particularly outgoing. We were similar. And so I loved playing him.
Matthew Lewis
What I've found is that stage is very much a foundation of acting. It's where it all began and you're working with that repetition.
Matthew Lewis
I had a screen test and an audition for the role of Neville Longbottom. It wasn't a job at that point. It was just something I enjoyed doing. And it's hard to remember back then, really, that much. But I just remember loving it.
Matthew Lewis
I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.
Matthew Lewis
In fact, my favorite Beatles song is In My Life. And from that, you can gauge that my friends mean so much to me. I love John Lennon, so it's kind of like moody... There's a lot you can gauge from that. As insignificant as it seems, as an actor, it's an interesting way to approach a character.
Matthew Lewis
I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
Matthew Lewis
I'm not a big fan of people knowing too much about me.
Matthew Lewis
I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.
Matthew Lewis
Don't get paparazzi following me everywhere. My life there is exactly the same as it would have been if I had not been in Harry Potter. So for me, Harry Potter isn't something that changed my life. It's just something I did that was a lot of fun, and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same.
Matthew Lewis
Rupert Grint is exactly like his character Ron, in that they are both incredibly funny, friendly, and loyal.
Matthew Lewis
My parents are proud of me being an actor.
Matthew Lewis
I love making people laugh.
Matthew Lewis
Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, What makes you laugh? Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.
Matthew Lewis
Twitter is the limit of me putting myself out there.
Matthew Lewis
I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.
Matthew Lewis
As an actor you really want to push yourself, and there's no better way than to do an intense drama.
Matthew Lewis
The fame stuff, the kind words from websites and things, are very flattering and lovely, but I just wanna act.
Matthew Lewis
Alan Rickman, who was mentored me a lot. He was very keen to offer his opinions on stuff. Not in a pretentious way. Not in a patronizing way.
Matthew Lewis
I never went to drama school.
