Highmore: "For every different role you play it's nice to have different challenges for each one."

Highmore: "People have different expectations when you're younger - it's less about changing yourself into a character; they want a more natural thing. And they just want you to be able to turn up every day and carry on working. They have a horrible fear of 10- or 11-year-olds, that they're going to say 'I don't want to play today.'"

Highmore: "I've got a good family to support me, so I'm grounded in that way."

Highmore: "As always, with acting, you can't be too self-conscious. You shouldn't care about what people are thinking about you at the time because they're not caring about you, they're caring about the character."

Highmore: "I guess I'm just a normal kid apart from the acting."

Highmore: "I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script."

Highmore: "I'm not a sad person, upset the whole time, but I seem to be quite emotional."

Highmore: "When you're happy you don't always have to be laughing, and when you're sad you don't have to be crying; sometimes it's the opposite. You laugh when you're the most upset."

Highmore: "I like to go to bed early so I can get up early."
