Daniel RadcliffeMore Photos His Career: Radcliffe's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, discouraged their only child from show business when, at age five, he said that he wanted to perform.

Quotes

Daniel Radcliffe: (on saying that he'll do all of the Harry Potter movies) Ultimately it comes down to whether we're still enjoying it. If we are then I think we would be sort of stupid not to do them. As long as I'm doing other stuff around the same time, I think it'll be fine. Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'. (edit)
Daniel Radcliffe: 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. (edit)
Daniel Radcliffe: I'm not much of a cake person. (edit)
Daniel Radcliffe: I love that scene! It was so totally clumsy. It's so malcoordinated when she asks him to kiss her neck and play with her tits at the same time. It's that first time experience when you're like, 'OK. What's this hand doing? What's that hand doing?' Trying to coordinate all those things at once is an absolute nightmare. It's a sex scene that's not sexy. It's clumsy and sweet. (edit)
Daniel Radcliffe: (On the play Equus) I hope that role will allow people to see me as something else. Harry Potter will be the character that got me famous, and will probably be the one that people remember first, but I like to think that if I work hard enough and so as many different things as I can, there will eventually be others that will stick in their minds as well.
