I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.

I absolutely don't relate to being beaten down my whole life - I had amazing opportunities at a young age - but there is still in many, many people's minds the notion that I'll never be able to escape Harry Potter.

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

I mean I've seen 3D films so far and I think it's a long way to go before they replace actors. It's a funny thing with 3D, I haven't quite got it yet. Yet.

To be honest, I would like to have worked with Peter Sellers, because when people talk about classic British actors, you talk about Lawrence Olivier, and Peter Sellers was just in the most amazing films.

What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.

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