I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anyone else.
If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.
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.
The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
My favorite phrase, that a friend of mine who worked on the Potter films and was a lot older than me would use in front of me, and I picked up from him many great phrases - the English have a lot of great idioms for sweating. I don't know why that is. But that's what we do. I feel like it's particularly our country; probably everywhere has a lot of idioms for sweating. He always said, "I'm sweating like a glassblower's asshole," which I always found an incredibly strange and yet vivid image.
I think that the process of making a film is an underrated factor in how that film turns out.
There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.
The sixth Harry Potter film - I don't like my performance in that film at all.
I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.
Franchises aren't to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.
And the people I'm best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.
Maybe it's a compliment to the film that you can't do that with it, that it can't be explained in 15 seconds.
