There is something inherently valuable about being a misfit. It’s not to say that every person who has artistic talent was a social outcast, but there is definitely a value for identifying yourself differently and being proud that you are different. – Daniel Radcliffe
The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it. – Daniel Radcliffe
Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things. – Daniel Radcliffe
People tell me I look mournful. They say, ‘Cheer up, Dan, it’s not that bad!’ Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I’m a happy person. – Daniel Radcliffe
When you’re seventeen to early twenties, that’s the time you’re trying to work out who you are. If you’re trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that’s the age when you start to figure out how to do that. – Daniel Radcliffe
A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I’m not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It’s not fun for me. There’s nothing entertaining about watching a film like that. – Daniel Radcliffe
I’m quite confident, but I don’t fancy myself. I don’t really care about how I look. – Daniel Radcliffe
Fame is damaging when people become reliant on it for their sense of self, and their identity, when fame is linked to how you see yourself. – Daniel Radcliffe
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. – Daniel Radcliffe
I pretty much left full-time, formal education when I was 11, so that was when I was taken out of the school system… The longest stretch I would go back for was a term and a half when I was about 14. – Daniel Radcliffe
A friend often says I’m an old man in a young man’s husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways. – Daniel Radcliffe
Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things. Funny ironing board covers – I hate them. – Daniel Radcliffe
I would love to work in America. I wouldn’t love to live there, but I’d love to experience working there. – Daniel Radcliffe
And I’m slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she’s just stunning. And she’s bright, which is incredibly sexy. – Daniel Radcliffe
No. I am not a royalist. Not at all. I am definitely a republican in the British sense of the word. I just don’t see the use of the monarchy though I’m fierce patriot. I’m proud proud proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolizes a lot of what was wrong with the country. – Daniel Radcliffe
I’m never going to be in something as commercially successful as ‘Harry Potter’ ever again. It’s impossible. So that gives me incredible freedom to go off and make the slightly off-the-wall films that I want to make. – Daniel Radcliffe
I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that’s it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality to their outfit. – Daniel Radcliffe
I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law. – Daniel Radcliffe
I don’t know what to do with it. I’m very fortunate to have it, and it gives you room to maneuver. But the main thing about having money is it means you don’t have to worry about it. And that for me is a lovely thing. It’s not for fast cars and hookers. – Daniel Radcliffe
I’ve always thought that as long as directors and casting directors don’t see me as just Harry Potter, I’ll be OK. People have shown a lot of faith in me, and I owe them a huge debt. They’re letting me prove that I’m serious about this. – Daniel Radcliffe
I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director. – Daniel Radcliffe
I could never do stand-up because it’s that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every 10 jokes you tell, nine of them have to get a really good response. – Daniel Radcliffe
I don’t know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It’s very much about the class structure. – Daniel Radcliffe
Directing is more what I would like to get into eventually. Frankly, I feel like it would be a waste if I didn’t because I’ve spent so much time on film sets, and I know how they work, and I love them, and I love leading them. I would like to do that as a director definitely. – Daniel Radcliffe
I basically have the diet of a 19th-century Irish navy, apart from the litre of stout a day. It’s meat and potatoes and bread and cheese: those are my four food groups. – Daniel Radcliffe
