I’m not clumsy, I’m just accident prone.

I’m not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I’m a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I’m useless. I mean, I’m a mess around the house. I talk...

I know it wouldn’t seem like I’ve had a lot of failure in my career, but there are things that I regard as failures, when I look at certain performances and go, ‘That’s not good...

I have no idea how much money I’ve got.

I don’t want to say I’ll never play someone with a cockney accent, but I think I would be irritated by me doing it.

A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I’m not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It’s not fun for me. There’s nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.

It is really strange, but very exciting.

People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.

What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.

I’m thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.

There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.

There’s an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it’s where I’ve grown up.

I’m definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I’m not absolutely confident that I’m doing them all.

Some people think I am gay, which I think is awesome.

I don’t want anyone to ever say that I don’t belong where I am.

I haven’t always been thrilled with my work. But the fear of not proving the people wrong who think you can’t emerge from a franchise and do well, that’s a very strong driving force.

One of the things that I cannot fathom is young actors who will not audition and won’t read.

I’ve not got a girlfriend at the moment. Somebody said, ‘Do you worry girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?’ I was like, ‘I’m 17, it’s wonderful.’

I’d love to play Puck in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’

As you grow up, you realize from the age of 14 or so, you grow extra emotions somehow, and I think Harry is at the point where he’s at the mercy of all these emotions,

There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life.

I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.

I like the idea of not having to do stuff for the money, and if I want to, I can pick indie projects for the rest of my life and be quite happy doing that.

I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they’re all really cool.

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

I absolutely don’t relate to being beaten down my whole life – I had amazing opportunities at a young age – but there is still in many, many people’s minds the notion that I’ll never...

One of the things that has been amazing has been my parents, who have kept me completely grounded the whole time and I’ve never got big-headed or anything.

Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it’s more an awkwardness.

When you’re seventeen to early twenties, that’s the time you’re trying to work out who you are. If you’re trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that’s the age when you start...

If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans – but I also like to look good. I like feeling...

When I get into trouble at school I’d like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I’d like to have a 3 headed-dog because then no one...

There’s never enough time to do nothing!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,

The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.

I just have this fear that I’ll get on stage and there’ll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I’ll forget my line.

I know I’m not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I’d rather be. So, yeah, that’s how I’d define myself. I want to do...

I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment...

If I can make a career for myself after Potter, and it goes well, and is varied and with longevity, then that puts to bed the ‘child actors argument’.

I’m a huge fan of Brad Pitt. He could have done rom-coms his entire career, but he took it in a different direction.

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.

I think honesty is the most heroic quality one can aspire to.

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.

I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I’m enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor – it’s my...

I seem to be a long-term relationship kinda guy.

Franchises aren’t to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.

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...

People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past,

Personally, I prefer the dark side.

As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you’re always ultimately going to be saying somebody else’s words. I don’t think I’d have the stamina, skill or ability to write...

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.
