I definitely want to have kids. I've grown up around lots of people who were having kids when I knew them, because a lot of them were a lot older than me. And I saw the wonderful change in them.
Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn't even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, "That's Mark and he's gay." Mark was just another friend of my dad's who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn't care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does...
I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
[I] take inspiration from kids. ... They're very honest in how they act and how they are in the world.
I'm the only kid in the world who doesn't want an eighth Harry Potter book.
I wasn't the most popular kid in school.
I think I'm highly normal. I'm attending school after acting, I'm going out with friends, going to the cinema - I'm just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can't leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that's not true. I'm able to do more things than people might think.
I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen.
We could get away with more because we were a bit younger.
I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Dahl. And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
That's why I don't understand why actors become arrogant and are completely unapproachable - because as an actor, the most valuable thing you can do is talk to people and hear their stories, because it'll all come in handy.
I think it would be very hard to go out with an actress, because they're mad. Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
It's been an odd five years, but it's been great,
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.
