I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.

As long as I'm acting and doing what I love, I'll be happy.

My parents are proud of me being an actor.

I never really looked at it like that, but it's true. It's weird that it's been half my life. Because I lead these two separate lives. I've got my life and Harry Potter, where I travel the world, I make films, I meet amazing people, I do press junkets and stuff. And then I go back home to Leeds, where I live, and I've got the same friends from before. I still go to the pub. I still go to watch the football, soccer. And I go shopping at my local shop.

I was a short, chubby kid, pretty shy.

As an actor you really want to push yourself, and there's no better way than to do an intense drama.

The fame stuff, the kind words from websites and things, are very flattering and lovely, but I just wanna act.
