If I can make a career for myself after Potter, and it goes well, and is varied and with longevity, then that puts to bed the 'child actors argument'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
It's always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don't know if I'm good enough to have a long career. I've got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.
Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
I got into acting as a young child on account of a sort of arbitrary thing. A friend of my mom's was a casting director, so really, as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.
To be an actor you have to be a child.
Acting is a hard way to make a living, and there's a kind of dark, somewhat seedy side to the whole aspect of fame and celebrity that's not really something I would want for my child - or want him to want, if that makes any sense.
After an 18-year career, I left the film industry, not wanting to become one of those child-actor cautionary tales.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.
Getting a role in 'Harry Potter' was like winning the lottery. But no one deserves an acting job.
