Frank Dillane Quotes

I've been fortunate with my acting career. A lot of scripts come to me. I don't mind auditioning if something that requires that, but I haven't had to in awhile, which is a nice place to be 'cause I've been on quite a lot of auditions in my life.

As a young actor, I was working much more readily and being offered more things.

If there's an audition, you go for it. If you get the job, you do it - just to get experience, to act, to meet people.

When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.'

Craft comes into acting later rather than sooner. I was somebody who had to learn through a process - a natural actor doesn't need to.
