Matthew Lewis Quotes

From an acting standpoint, when I was a kid, I thought I knew everything there was to know. As the years go by, this craft becomes more intensive as I get older. You realize how much more there is to know and to learn, and how much better you can get, if you really work at it.

That's the beauty of the acting world. You can play so many different characters who know and do so many things that you have no idea about as yourself.

Regardless of what level the actor's at, you always learn something. And you can learn something from bad actors as well, who I've also worked with in the past.

Every time I work, it's an educational process because I learn by watching other actors. My career is always going to be an ongoing study.

So anyway, I've learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.

My advice has always been to study the craft of acting if you want to be an actor. There are many great schools that teach acting. NYU being one of them.
