The American version of ‘The Office’ is fantastic.

My taste in the films I’ve taken as an actor is similar to what I’d do a director or writer: all quite odd, challenging stuff, slightly off-the-wall.

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...

Go boldly and honestly through the world. Learn to love the fact that there is nobody else quite like you.

No. I am not a royalist. Not at all. I am definitely a republican in the British sense of the word. I just don’t see the use of the monarchy though I’m fierce patriot. I’m...

Also I just think I’ve been lucky enough to have great parents, and I’ve had good people around me who have always been honest with me, who would give me a purely metaphorical slap if...

I’m quite confident, but I don’t fancy myself. I don’t really care about how I look.

Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it’s even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words.

I want to prove to people that I’m an actor and not just a character.

I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen.

The sixth Harry Potter film – I don’t like my performance in that film at all.

I definitely think that theatre is something I’ll keep coming back to in my career for as long as I can. I also think theatre’s something you have to be very fit to do. I...

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.

When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.

I pretty much left full-time, formal education when I was 11, so that was when I was taken out of the school system… The longest stretch I would go back for was a term and...

We are not absolutely confirmed as doing them all. We are confirmed to do the fifth but after that who knows.

I think it’s useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are – because otherwise I’d be sitting here thinking I’m keeping secrets, and...

I think I tried to steal a Mars bar once from a shop but then I went and put it back.

I don’t know what to do with it. I’m very fortunate to have it, and it gives you room to maneuver. But the main thing about having money is it means you don’t have to...

There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.

That’s what fame does to you. You acquire another self.

In theory I’m naked underneath.

I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.

How irritating it must be for people, to be bombarded with me!

I have quite a rich inner life, and I’m constantly looking for a way to express that. I haven’t found it yet in acting. When you’re playing a character, you’re only going to find outlets...

My friends have always called me ‘Mr. Thorough,’ in that when I get into something, I become obsessed with it.

You have to find out who you are aside from what the media say you are. If you’ve become reliant on them for kind of a sense of self, then you’re really screwed.

I wasn’t the most popular kid in school.

He suffers from the same frailties and hormonal-related problems as all sorts of people his age, but he’s also going through this massive thing of almost paranoia, where someone’s trying to get at him, trying...

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

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.

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

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.

There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life.

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,

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