I think I'm always very naïve. With this and Kill Your Darlings and Horns, I'm like, "Why wouldn't everybody love this?" But I guess it's going to divide people in some ways. But if you're willing to go with it and suspend your disbelief, you're going to get something amazing and something unlike anything else.
I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot. I don't know if it's maybe from being on films that's often playing Harry [Potter] or I just think it's a natural thing that I have. It's something that I think about just because it's fascinating in a very alien kind of way.
I suppose whenever you go through periods of transition, or in a way, it's a very definite closing of a certain chapter of your life - I suppose those times are always going to be both very upsetting and also very exciting by the very nature because things are changing and you don't know what's going to happen.
I'm not looking for sequels, but when something comes to you, and you're already a fan of that world, you have the desire to do it your way.
In some ways, you get to find your voice better in [a sequel] because you have to define how you're doing it differently.
I'm always amazed at the way some actors' behaviour is truly disgusting. That's one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.
A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.
You never want to be forced to do something. But the world around you starts to influence you in ways you never expected.
Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.
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.
We are older now, ... so it is good for us to feel like we're not just child actors any more. We've grown up and are now able to make our own acting decisions.
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.
