Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
You avoid the hype while you're working, you have to, but the premiere is the one night of the year where you can enjoy it.
I'm generally more and more in my comfort zone in the wild.
Nothing's really changed since the Harry Potter films came along.
It's definitely more fun playing a bad guy. It feels a lot better than playing one of the good guys.
You see another side of Draco when he's with his dad. When Draco is with his dad, he doesn't say anything. He keeps his mouth shut. He's sort of bullied by his dad, so he acts very different.
The only time I can really relax is up a tree or somewhere outside. I love being outside.
I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing.
We went with the St. Lawrence Experience, which is run by Joe Babbitt, who is a close friend now. We went out there for 10 days and we had the best week of our lives, and we've been going back since. We've been back three times now.
I'm going to change my image - backward caps, the lot.
I am looking to get into the grime rap U.K. scene.
I'm a real big country boy.
I'm not too unintelligent.
As soon as you see 'Dame' in front of someone's name, you get nervous, but Dame Maggie Smith is the most wonderfully gentle woman I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say.
