“The art world can be very intimidating because it's just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you're never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there's pressure to.”

“England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.”
HomeAll Quotes by 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.”
Politics“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.”
Society“The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.”
Cool“I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.”
Death“It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.”
Learning“As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.”
Home“My dad believes in God, I think. I'm not sure if my mom does. I don't.”
Dad“I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I'm really bad at it. I'm just a terrible drawer. I can't draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can't draw a straight line.”
Art“People who have car collections - I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It's not beautiful, it's not creative. It's just showing how much money you've got.”
Car“I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.”
Religion“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.”
Best“As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you're always ultimately going to be saying somebody else's words. I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.”
Poetry“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.”
Funny“England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.”
Home“I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.”
Cool“I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.”
Respect“I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.”
Experience“I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and wondering when you're going to find out.”
Famous“Religion leaves no room for human complexity.”
