| | | Dan Radcliffe discusses underwear & chores (UPDATED)
Dan Radcliffe sat down with the Associated Press and talked about everything from laundry and Equus to the uncomfortableness of watching oneself on screen and what (or who) made him decide to become an actor. Below are some excerpts. You can read the entire interview here. Quote: Radcliffe: (Sitting down on the couch, tugging at his stiff, dark jeans): These are the only pants I have left because I haven't been able to wash stuff so frequently 'cause we've been going from hotel to hotel, and prices on washing underwear, it's like extortion—it's, like, four dollars a pair of underwear. AP: Really? You could buy some new ones for less. Radcliffe: You probably could, actually, but then they weigh the case down. And so I'm wearing the only pants I have left as I do this interview. AP: So you do your own laundry then? Radcliffe: Yes—well, I put it in the basket and it just suddenly comes back clean. My chores mainly revolve around keeping my room at an acceptable level of cleanliness and tidiness and just general standards of hygiene. AP: You can see floor. Radcliffe: Chunks of floor—it's sort of a patchwork floor that I have amid posters and magazines.
Quote: AP: I've read that you haven't felt comfortable watching yourself on screen, is that still true? Radcliffe: I still don't like it. No, I don't think any actor does, really. I enjoy the movies, I like watching them, I just don't like watching myself particularly. AP: What do you think when you see yourself? Radcliffe: "God, you've got a stupid mouth," anything, just totally negative criticism, basically. AP: But don't you feel like you've gotten better in each one? Radcliffe: Yeah, absolutely. Oh yeah, no question. But, you know, there's a long way to go.
Quote: AP: Do you think you understand the insanity of the Harry Potter phenomenon any better today than you did at the beginning? Radcliffe: Not at all. I think it's almost impossible to fully comprehend. When you're in the middle of something, you can't see how far it stretches. And that's sort of my position on it. I met someone the other day who said, "You're really big in Kuwait."
UPDATE: Three pictures from the interview can be seen here. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine Quote: AP: Is it cold on that stage? Radcliffe: (Smiles) Yes, it's very well air-conditioned. AP: There's shrinkage? Radcliffe: (Smiles again) There is an element of retraction, certainly.
I love how candid he is. Quote: AP: Why is that, do you think? Radcliffe: 'Cause, I don't know, maybe they want me to be Peter Pan and stay young forever, some people. It's also, I think, a lot of it is media stirred-up.
I think he's hit the nail on the head there. Some people can't accept that he's now an adult and as such does adult things. Which is silly (or hilarious, like Dan said, depending on how you look at it) because Harry grows up, so why can't Dan be allowed to do the same??? Quote:

He said he doesn't.

"There is an element of retraction, certainly." has got to be one of the greatest sentences of all time. I'm so going to use this in every-day conversation from now on.
