“If I hadn’t played Harry Potter I find it hard to believe I would have become an actor.”
“Thank you to GLAMOUR to being very, very supportive of my career… I’d also like to say thank you as Kanye West was a previous recipient of this award, so I now have something in common with Kanye West, which I would never have predicted.”

‘The stories I’m interested in are challenging ones and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.’
“The audience is really easy to forget about [on stage]. The camera is not. That’s what I find hard. I also find hard the broken up nature of filming, which is odd, because I’ve done it all my life, so it should be natural. And these, by the way, are conclusions I’ve come to very recently. […] On stage, I don’t have to think about [the intention of the scene] because the whole story’s being told in one go, and all I have to do is get on stage and listen, which is what I’m very good at. Listening, being engaged – I have no problems with. […] Whereas on film, because it’s so broken up, it can sometimes mean you come back to a scene [and be] slightly unsure of what exactly you should be doing.”
It’s going to sound really pretentious but there’s a Beckett quote I really like which I’m going to get tattooed on me. “Try again, fail again, fail better.” That’s what I’m about. I heard someone say growing up is about aiming to succeed but being fulfilled by failing very well. I agree with that 100 per cent.
