I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.

I Google myself to see what come up when you Google Daniel Radcliffe because that's always amusing.

As an actor, I think sort of relish the chance to take a leap and sort of put yourself out there. You know, it's, like on any film, you just have to be willing to embarrass yourself, because otherwise you are not going to really reveal anything that you have. So I think it's exciting.

I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.

There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.

I'm very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it's so boring.

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.
