People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.
— Daniel Radcliffe
You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.
The art world can be very intimidating because it's just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you're never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there's pressure to.
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 novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.
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. I probably used to be too trusting of people.
I don't really care about how I look.
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 met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.
There's no blueprint for where I should be. I see myself as a young, good actor who still has a lot to learn. There's nobody at any point in their career who is the finished article.
I think any actor worth their salt wants to show as much versatility as they possibly can.
I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
My dad believes in God, I think. I'm not sure if my mom does. I don't.
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 nonstop. I become obsessed with things.
And well historically it's never been a good thing to compare yourself to biblical characters.
Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can't do a retake.
I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone.
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 I got knocked out twice in the first round.
I love coming home to somebody, I love being in a relationship.
I grew up listening to show tunes in the back of the car.
I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.
Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.
I think I tried to steal a Mars bar once from a shop but then I went and put it back.
I get constantly mistaken for Elijah Wood. I was in Japan and someone held out a photo of him for me to sign.
Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
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 ever got too big for my boots.
I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.
I'm not clean or even vaguely pleasant to be around in a domestic situation.
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.
Religion leaves no room for human complexity.
I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.
I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.
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.
I've always thought that as long as directors and casting directors don't see me as just Harry Potter, I'll be OK. People have shown a lot of faith in me, and I owe them a huge debt. They're letting me prove that I'm serious about this.
The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.
When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.
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 really well put together, I just don't have the aptitude and the knowledge to do that.
How irritating it must be for people, to be bombarded with me!
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 and occasionally somebody will try to take advantage.
And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
It's interesting because people assume that because I'm famous I know all famous people.
I think I have just always had an awareness that when you go to a premiere and people start cheering and shouting your name and stuff, they are shouting at a perception of you that they have.
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.
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.
I would love to work in America. I wouldn't love to live there, but I'd love to experience working there.
I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English.
I mean I've seen 3D films so far and I think it's a long way to go before they replace actors. It's a funny thing with 3D, I haven't quite got it yet. Yet.
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.
I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.
My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.
