Daniel Radcliffe's quotes
- After being cast as Harry Potter: I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry 'cos I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually.
- I'm not much of a cake person.
- But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I'll do all of them - I'll probably get too spotty or too tall or I'll shrink or something.
- [on believing in magic] Absolutely. 100 percent.
- I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, "Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?" and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.
- I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident prone.
- [on considering himself as a heartthrob] Personally, I can't see it, but if other people can, fine. Cool!
- I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.
- [on the bats on the set] I like them, but it's hard to concentrate when the bats fly about, and they pee while they fly.
- I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me.
- [on math] Too many little numbers on one page!
- Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can't do a retake.
- When I go back to school everyone asks a lot of questions. Then, after about a week, when I've answered everything, we get back to normal.
- It's too far down the road to decide about a fifth movie. I'm still the same age Harry is, and I haven't actually grown that much.
- Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.
- I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
- When I get into trouble at school I'd like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I'd like to have a 3-headed-dog because then no one would argue with me.
- I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after me with a water pistol.
- Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie's (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish.
- I don't understand girls, but I'm slowly learning.
- [on whether he is religious] I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant... I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.
- I feel okay about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does... but I've gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.
- People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well.
- What everybody would love to see is me having ditched school and then just going wild. That's what I'm determined not to give them.
- It's not so much that they don't want me to grow up. It's that they're annoyed that I'm growing up adjusted. They'd much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars.
- I'm lucky enough to have a job that I love, and a relatively down-to-earth life.
- [on occasionally being drunk while impersonating Harry Potter] I can point to many scenes where I am just gone. Dead behind the eyes.
- I'm scared of any sort of expression looking like a Harry expression, and so I think that the journey for me in the last year is kind of about acceptance, of going, "This is my face and it was also the face that played Harry Potter.".
- [on whether he identifies as Jewish] Absolutely. I really do. My dad is Northern Irish and my mum is Jewish. That's working blood. Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.
- [on shooting What If (2013) in Dublin, Ireland] Dublin looks awesome; it's not hard to make Dublin look really pretty but it looks great in the movie.
- I like action movies and I feel there used to be lots of really witty ones, like Die Hard (1988) and Lethal Weapon (1987) and the Bourne movies, but the good ones are few and far between now.
- I used to be self-conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I'm Harry Potter.
- I'm 5-foot-5, and I'll wear a big parka and put the hood up, and nobody gives me a second glance.
