I enjoy any type of physical transformation. I enjoy working with the hair and makeup department and I enjoy watching people be very good at their jobs.
If you're having a bad day, get on with your job, because you having a bad day can affect everyone around you.
The stories I'm interested in are challenging ones, and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.
Part of an actor's job is to find correlations between your own life and the life of the person you are playing.
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.
My job to make sure that thing is kick-ass - takes the mold, jumps on it, throws glitter all over it, smashes it, kicks it around, and drops the mic. If we don't do that, then we deserve not to have a hit.
Every situation is different. A director is what a director wants to be. If you want to force something, you can fight to the death and maybe get fired, but it's your job to help push things along.
Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It's all about how much something's going to stretch me or test me.
In a way, ... growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run.
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls, ... I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
I'm definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I'm not absolutely confident that I'm doing them all.
I love it. Until recently, I'd seen a peek of it in the catalogue but not actually seen the real thing. It was strange seeing myself as I was two years ago, not as I am now. If you look at each individual part of my face they look exactly like part of my face. Together it's surreal.
In England, there's so much history that you feel a part of history even when you're really not,
To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.
