Acting is really instinctual and I think you can overanalyse what you're doing. A lot of it has to be based on instinct.

A hero is also someone who, in their day to day interactions with the world, despite all the pain, uncertainty and doubt that can plague us, is resiliently and unashamedly themselves. If you can wake up every day and be emotionally open and honest regardless of what you get back from the world then you can be the hero of your own story. Each and every person who can say that despite life’s various buffetings that they are proud to be the person they are is a hero.

I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.

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

A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.

I am very critical! I hate watching myself but I know I have to because I'm going to be asked so I need to have some sort of semblance of what the films with me are like. But it's not an enjoyable experience watching yourself. I hate it less than I used to but I still don't enjoy it.

I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.
