In the past two years, you've taken major roles in filmed adaptations of two different blockbuster literary series, Harry Potter and Twilight. What's the strategy there? Do you hang out in libraries?
I wish I could tell you. I mean, I do like books, but I think it's just luck.

Are you a lucky guy?
I think I am kind of a lucky guy. I remember when I was younger I used to write in my diary: I want my luck to be spread. Never give me anything too lucky all at once. I'll take a little luck now and then, but spread it for 70 years. (Laughs) Now that all of this is happening, I'm sure the rest of my life will be ruined.
