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.

More quotes by Matthew Lewis
Alan Rickman told me to do a play, so I did. Because when Alan Rickman tells you do something, you go and do it.
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
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
My parents are proud of me being an actor.
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
I love making people laugh.
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
I never contemplated. I just went in there and did my acting. I never thought, What's the character actually feeling here? What's he trying to get across? And never looked at it from that classically trained actor's point of view.
Matthew Lewis
Leeds is quite laid-back.
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
I never went to drama school.
Matthew Lewis
I've always been partial to comedy. I love the idea of working on a comedic scene.
Matthew Lewis
Twitter is the limit of me putting myself out there.
Matthew Lewis
You know, girls in general are scarier than Voldemort.
Matthew Lewis
Having done television, I was used to either being aware whether I got the part within the same day, or within two, three days max.
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
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 must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them. They've got all their home videos done in HD quality! They love it. But I struggle very much. I'm very self-conscious as an actor, anyway. I don't like watching my own performances, even in this recent one.
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
I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
Matthew Lewis
