Obviously, I've been very lucky in general in my career, but I feel that I've been very lucky in terms of having directors come along at the right times who have taken me to the next level of where I needed to be.

Some people are asking me questions like this is a more shocking subject, which is so strange.

I've done seven movies in eight years, and with each movie I feel like I'm learning a lot. I'm still young-ish, so I still feel like I'm in the zone of learning and creating. Those are the perfect places to do that. And in a weird way, you have a lot of freedom.

'Insane Farting Corpse' is a really hard movie to do a Q&A for. The audience is still kind of reeling and being like, "I don't know what to ask."

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

I certainly want to establish myself as an actor in my own right, rather than being just the actor who plays Harry Potter.

Richard [Griffiths] was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career. In August 2000, before official production had even begun on Potter, we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first ever shot as Harry. I was nervous and he made me feel at ease. Seven years later, we embarked on 'Equus' together. It was my first time doing a play but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy. In fact, any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence.
