Dan talks about himself,acting and poetry.

Radcliffe, who will shortly begin his first-ever run on Broadway, reprising his role in “Equus,” told the magazine he was originally discouraged from pursuing the acting craft by his mother. She changed her mind however, allowing him to audition for a television version of “David Copperfield” in his native Britain, after he ran into educational trouble.

“I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap and everything with no discernible talent,” he said.

“Poetry’s this wonderful, sort of secret thing you’ve got going that you don’t tell anybody about,” he said. “Unless, or course, it’s published or you talk to a journalist about it. Acting has confines; poetry has none.”
