Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.
I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone.
I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.
I get constantly mistaken for Elijah Wood.
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 Google myself to see what come up when you Google Daniel Radcliffe because that's always amusing.
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 didn't have that normal teenage period when you build up your friends in your area and you have a social circle.
When you're seventeen to early twenties, that's the time you're trying to work out who you are. If you're trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that's the age when you start to figure out how to do that.
I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally. But I've now accepted it. Basically, I came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes.
I think honesty is the most heroic quality one can aspire to.
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.
There's no shame in enjoying the quiet life.
I'm somebody who is very, very proud to have been a part of the British film industry all my life and to have kind of been involved with a very important piece of British film history.
