It’s interesting because people assume that because I’m famous I know all famous people.
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.
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 wondering when you’re going to find out.
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.
I would love to work in America. I wouldn’t love to live there, but I’d love to experience working there.
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.
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 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 of my life.
The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
