It's like in politics: You can have great intentions for the world, but if you're not a good speaker and if you're not the sort of person that people can intimately link with, then it makes it very easy to say, "Well, they're not a nice person."
People's instinct when they hear someone is madly obsessed with Star Wars or Harry Potter or something like that, they think that it's odd and not as cool as being a massive sports fan or film nerd. But I think it's amazing and something that should be celebrated and definitely not looked down on or misunderstood.
There's something very intoxicating about playing someone so volatile and someone who can lose his temper at any second.
I like a funny girl. Smart. Talented. I like someone who is good at music - that always intrigues me.
You do that stupid thing at 12 years old when you say something and it kind of sticks with you for the rest of your life. So, I believe I said I wanted to be a fishery manager. In hindsight, I think acting could be a better route.
When you're playing a character for 10 years, it can challenge you less than it did at the beginning, so it was exciting to take on some new shoes. Especially with Erich Blunt, because being a tech wizard wasn't something I thought I would do after Harry Potter.
The best-looking girls don't do anything, they just sort of know they're beautiful, especially in jeans and a hoodie.
The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.
I've started a little independent record label called 'Six String Productions' and recorded a couple of tunes, and I hope to do some more with some future artists next year. It's a real passion project of mine.
I'd love to be in Paul McCartney's shoes for a day. I'd love to pick up a guitar and write songs like he does. Or to experience what it might have been like to be a Beatle for a day.
I used to have all the Goosebumps books as a kid too.
It's fun to be blond, and it's almost difficult to remember how I used to look with my proper hair color.
I'm terrible at texting people back. It takes me, like, three days. I'm not a big phone person.
I confess, I'm not the biggest fan of Twilight.
