I certainly want to establish myself as an actor in my own right, rather than being just the actor who plays Harry Potter.
If you're on a date and somebody comes up and says, "Oh, I loved you in Harry Potter," it's a bit weird, because you suddenly start thinking, "Oh, God. Is this weird for the other person I'm here with, or is this weird for my family?" But generally speaking, I don't really think because I was thrown into it so young and kind of always had that, it's just something you get used to. And most of the time...It was interesting.
I'm certainly lucky to have got famous through something that was so well liked, generally speaking.
Potter for me is something that's been giving me these amazing opportunities to start a career and learn while I'm doing, which is the best way to learn.
I want to write and direct, but I don't think if I did it for 100 years I would ever come close to putting something out there that gives a feeling of all-encompassing and joyous.
It's a really hard movie [Insane Farting Corpse] to do a Q&A for, as well. The audience is still kind of reeling and being like, "I don't know what to ask."
Maybe it's a compliment to the film that you can't do that with it, that it can't be explained in 15 seconds.
I'll miss some of the opportunities that playing Harry [Potter] brought me.
I definitely think the idea of friend zone is just men going, 'This woman won't have sex with me.
You don't have to be gay to be a supporter- you just have to be a human.
People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.
If you're having a bad day, get on with your job, because you having a bad day can affect everyone around you.
I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry 'cos I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually.
I'll say American for now. I really have no preference, though. Nationality is nothing. It's all about the girl - but she has to be curvy!
