Radcliffe: He’d never patronize me enough to give me advice. That’s a horrible thing to do unless you’re really, really close to somebody. Me and Gary get on very well, we’re quite close, he just isn’t the type of guy to do that. You just learn from watching him.

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.

AP: Do you think you understand the insanity of the Harry Potter phenomenon any better today than you did at the beginning?
