There’s an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it’s where I’ve grown up.
I would like to initiate an initiative – the Broadway Annoying Audience Member Relocation Programme.
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.
Acting is really instinctual and I think you can overanalyse what you’re doing. A lot of it has to be based on instinct.
Also I just think I’ve been lucky enough to have great parents, and I’ve had good people around me who have always been honest with me, who would give me a purely metaphorical slap if I ever got too big for my boots.
I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anyone else.
I’m sure when I have a nostalgic, teary moment in 10 years time, I’ll try to put the glasses when I was 10 on and cry to myself in front of the mirror.
I’m not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.
I think pressure is a good thing and it’s good to be able to feel it and use it and experience the feeling of it and especially if you can get past it.
And the people I’m best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.
Some people are asking me questions like this is a more shocking subject, which is so strange.
How irritating it must be for people, to be bombarded with me!
I would love to work in America. I wouldn’t love to live there, but I’d love to experience working there.
That’s what fame does to you. You acquire another self.
I’m possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.
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.
My dad believes in God, I think. I’m not sure if my mom does. I don’t.
I might like to be an actor, but there are loads of other things I’m interested in as well, like music and writing and sports. I want to keep my options open.
I haven’t always been thrilled with my work. But the fear of not proving the people wrong who think you can’t emerge from a franchise and do well, that’s a very strong driving force.
I have quite a rich inner life, and I’m constantly looking for a way to express that. I haven’t found it yet in acting. When you’re playing a character, you’re only going to find outlets for very specific parts of your inner world.
