Asa Butterfield

I don't really like scary movies. I mean, I didn't as a kid, but I think I got a bit better now. I've been easing myself into it, starting off with the less spooky ones. ”

I do have people looking up to me, which is still kind of weird to me. 'I'm like, 'Why? What have I done?' ”

When things don't go your way, you brush it aside and carry on. Don't take what you have for granted. Enjoy what you have. ”

I did a film, 'X+Y', in which I played somebody on the autistic spectrum. It's a subject I didn't know very much about, but being an actor gives yourself the opportunity to really immerse yourself in that world and learn things. It's one of the great things about what I do. ”

I never wanted to be home-schooled. I didn't like the idea of being home-schooled. ”

I'd really likely to shoot wildlife documentaries. I watched so many of those as a child, and I'm quite into wildlife and love photography as well, so that's something I'd like to do. ”

Whilst I've got these opportunities, and whilst I still love doing it, acting is something I can see myself continuing forever until I get bored of it. ”

I'm a pretty normal person outside of the film world. It doesn't really affect me when I'm at school or with my mates. ”

I don't see myself acting for the rest of my life. ”

It wasn't until I did 'Hugo' where I sort of started to think that this could be something that I do for a long time - not necessarily the rest of my life, but we'll see. ”
