I thought I was an actor playing a wizard. But really, I was a wizard playing an actor.

The happiest I ever am is spending time with a group of really good friends. That's all I aspire to in life, really.

Sometimes you can't help but pay attention to what is written about you. You are trying not to because it's generally not constructive, it can be very funny, in which case it's fine to pay attention to it if you're going to laugh about it. But if it's going to get you angry then it's a pretty pointless waste of energy, so I try and be selective about what I take an interest in about myself.

If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.

I'll miss some of the opportunities that playing Harry [Potter] brought me.

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.

Go boldly and honestly through the world. Learn to love the fact that there is nobody else quite like you.
