If this doesn’t get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you,

When you’re in the position I’m in, you have two options: you can either shut yourself off from everybody, from the world, and not live a full life. Or you welcome everybody into your life...

I’m not much of a cake person.

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...

And well historically it’s never been a good thing to compare yourself to biblical characters.

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 nonstop. I become obsessed with things.

I’m not clean or even vaguely pleasant to be around in a domestic situation.

In England, there’s so much history that you feel a part of history even when you’re really not,

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I’d just rather sit at...

My dad believes in God, I think. I’m not sure if my mom does. I don’t.

For ages, in my lunch hours, I would just go round and choreograph fight scenes. For fun. So now I’m very good at being thrown around. I bounce, in the words of my friends.

I would love to work in America. I wouldn’t love to live there, but I’d love to experience working there.

I don’t know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It’s very much about the class structure.

My preparation is mainly just knowing the lines and getting in and knowing where your character is, knowing what it’s about and having ideas that you can put in on the day.

We could get away with more because we were a bit younger.

It’s interesting because people assume that because I’m famous I know all famous people.

I don’t know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. ‘Treasure Island,’ ‘Robinson Crusoe,’ tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I...

The best thing I’ve learned is, if you’re going out, never go out alone – you leave yourself vulnerable. If you’ve got someone else there you trust, they can say, be wary of that person....

People who have car collections – I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It’s not beautiful, it’s not creative. It’s just showing how much money you’ve got.

I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.

The whole series is about the loss of innocence, … In the first one [‘The Sorcerer’s Stone’], everyone’s very wide-eyed, almost na ”,ve. Harry’s thinking that because he’s entering a magical world, it’s got to...

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...

And I’m slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she’s just stunning. And she’s bright, which is incredibly sexy.

I’ve never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don’t get the people who are cool. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that they don’t interest me.

Because I’m short and slim, I can identify with somebody who’s an unlikely fit for something and desperately wants to be part of it.

I played bass for a year, but I wasn’t getting better at it, so I decided to stop so I could see my friends.

I’ve always had a slightly overactive imagination.

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.

I’m an atheist, but I’m very relaxed about it. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.

My dad’s got a brilliant eye for scripts ‘cos he’s a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.

I could never do stand-up because it’s that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every 10 jokes you tell, nine of them have to get a really good response.

I’m very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it’s so boring.

I’m not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.

Being in Harry Potter is like being in the Mafia. Once you are in, you are never really out.

If you look at each individual part of my face they look exactly like part of my face. Together it’s surreal.

Don’t try too hard to be something you’re not.

I just moved into the world of Xbox Live. And I’ve discovered that everyone on the Internet is a lot better than me. I spent half an hour the other day designing a boxer, and...

It’s very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything – none of which I mind – but people don’t really care that much.

With any kind of artistic thing, it’s a muscle, like any athlete, and the moment you’re not doing it, you lose all confidence. That’s why I’m terrible with down time.

I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I’ve got energy to play football even though they’ll be better than me by the time they’re four.

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.

It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they’re...

Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It’s all about how much something’s going to stretch me or test me.

My dad grew up in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, desperate to get to London. I grew up in London, so I don’t know what it’s like to yearn for the big city from a small town.

Because of the life I’ve had, I’d grown up quicker than most people.

I know me, and I know that I’m not somebody that particularly merits a lot of screaming and shouting. And there’s nothing special about me as opposed to hundreds of thousands of other people everywhere.

I’ve been working since I was 9, and I’ve never known a life without a film set.

It’s just a bizarre experience.

I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that’s it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality...

Some actresses are just insane. I’ve never worked with a nasty actress – they’re all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
