Asa Butterfield: April 1

Quotes

Asa Butterfield

  • Don't do piracy. Piracy's a crime.
  • I think I can speak for a lot of people in that they would be pretty nervous about meeting Harrison Ford, and I was definitely one of those people.
  • My little sister, who is four, can work my mom's iPhone better than she can.
  • When you have a book as material as it is, it's a lot easier to create a character because you have so many resources to draw upon when acting.
  • People think when you're moving in Zero-G, it's like moving in jelly. But it's not. You're completely free to move however fast as you want.
  • I always think that trying to push yourself as an actor in a direction that you've never been before, developing characters which are more difficult to get into the head of, or are more interesting and further away from yourself, is always a challenge. But, you want to take up that challenge and try your best.
  • Between the ages of 14 to 19 I suddenly had to relearn how to act, because I could no longer rely on being in the moment. You end up overthinking what people expect from you, or how to analyse a character or break down a scene.
  • [on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)] You don't need to know all those details as a kid. It was at times traumatic enough making that movie. The production team protected me in all the ways they could, but there are scenes in that film that I remember coming out of and being like: I don't want to do this any more. Thinking back on it, I've got little sisters who are 12 and 15, and I wouldn't want to put them through that.
  • "Lord of the Rings" was my jam. I love "Dungeons and Dragons", I love my magic, my elves, my dwarves, my spells. I'm a massive nerd, and I think that stems from my love of watching "Lord of the Rings" in the cinema ... I can quote most of the movies, and the soundtrack! Oh my God, don't get me started on the soundtrack!
