Potter for me is something that's been giving me these amazing opportunities to start a career and learn while I'm doing, which is the best way to learn.

I've always had, like, from the age of about 11, I've had such an intolerance for bad behaviour of actors that I don't think I was ever going to be that person.

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.

If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans - but I also like to look good. I like feeling really well put together, I just don't have the aptitude and the knowledge to do that.

Every job I do, I like to think it makes me better or I learn things. It's all about how much something's going to stretch me or test me.

I suppose whenever you go through periods of transition, or in a way, it's a very definite closing of a certain chapter of your life. I suppose those times are always going to be both very upsetting and also very exciting by the very nature because things are changing and you don't know what's going to happen.

I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.
