Matthew Lewis

I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.

I'm very professional.

I did enjoy theater. I actually do prefer making films and television, but it was a learning experience for me, because I got into television at 5 and film at 11, and theater was something I completely bypassed.

I think as an actor you're always learning, you're always trying to experience more things.

To be fair, when I started doing 'Verdict' I literally had no idea what I was doing. I wanted to do some theatre, as I wanted to do something different. I wanted to learn and get an understanding of the craft.

I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.

The great thing about filming a film is that you all have your final day's shooting, but you always know that you're all going to be coming back for the premiere.

You don't have to be a Brad Pitt look-alike hero just to be courageous and help out your friends and come through when it really matters. I think everyone can sort of relate to that in some way, particularly back to people's school days.

Leeds is quite laid-back.

I was a short, chubby kid, pretty shy.

Twitter is the limit of me putting myself out there.

I started to see acting as a real science. That really helped me grow as an actor.
