fun character ideas
Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, "What makes you laugh?" Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.
teacher school people
I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.
laughing people love-making
I love making people laugh.
leaving acting potters
There was never any point at which I was considering leaving Harry Potter. If I were to stop acting, it would have been after.
possibility
I'm very much open to the possibilities.
acting foundation stage
What I've found is that stage is very much a foundation of acting. It's where it all began and you're working with that repetition.
ideas comedy scene
I've always been partial to comedy. I love the idea of working on a comedic scene.
drama want way
As an actor you really want to push yourself, and there's no better way than to do an intense drama.
inspire levels fame
The thing that inspires me about Daniel Radcliffe and the thing that I admire the most about him is that he's had a level of fame thrust upon him that's relatively unheard of.
years people potters
There's not many people on the face of the earth that don't know Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe. He's had that since he was eleven years old, yet he hasn't changed since the day I met him.
paparazzi following
I get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around.
feels
I don't feel hunky at all.
two three done
Having done television, I was used to either being aware whether I got the part within the same day, or within two, three days max.
struggle thinking years
A lot of people struggle in their younger years, and I think people can relate to that.
