Quotes


[On meeting the cast for the first time] "I remember sitting down and they were all like 'hey, how you doing? Good to see you again' and they had running jokes and I was thinking 'what is going on'. I was very nervous."

[On what he found to be the most fun whilst working on the film] "The most fun was probably walking on set every morning and saying ,'Hey, how you doing' to like 500 people. So walk on set and saying hey to everyone, you can never really be unhappy. Everybody wants to be and it was really fun to be there. Some days I wish I could go back and say hey to everyone."

[On the books] "I came to it when I was about 12. I read the book when I was like eight or seven. And I got the first audition when I was about 12. Ever since, it’s played quite a major role in my life because I went away for six months and I don't think a month or a week goes by without someone saying it in my house, so it’s had a big effect on my life and not for the worst reasons. It’s been good."

"My family... well they are all about Science ... and Darwin. I remember one of our family dinners.... it was my grandfather’s 90th birthday and we were all having dinner. I got my food and as I sat down I heard my uncles all get together and one of them said, ‘So, what are we going to do about these new taps?’ And they had this long conversation about taps! That was literally the story.”"

[On being recognised] "I kind of feel that once we’re back in London and back in regular life, I just sort of get the bus and very occasionally this whole other role slips into my home life. Randomly people recognise me but even then it’s very minor. It’s not as if my life has been turned on its head and I can’t walk down the street unless I’m wearing dark sunglasses and a ninja kit."

"One of my proudest moments was reading the call sheet [for Prince Caspian] one morning and the scene description was ‘Edmund saves the day’. I kept that one ... it was great and I never let anyone forget it."

"After school, I was hanging out with these girls and there's one I've never seen before. So she runs up to me and tells me I'm in Teen Vogue. And I'm like, "Yeah, that's me." I'm thinking, this is the way to live. And she goes, "So you must know Will."

Quotes About Skandar

"I have to say that working with Skandar is as you might have gathered, a very bright individual. And like all bright individuals, he’s a delight to be around. We just played. It’s just playing. We just played all day and then sometimes the camera was on and then sometimes the camera wasn’t on. It was very, very simple." -- Tilda Swinton

"He was the coolest though when I called all the kids to tell them they'd got the part. I didn't realise I'd caught Skandar on his cell phone while he was on the bus. I said 'I've got some good news for you, you've got the part!' and he was like 'oh yeah, cool, thanks." -- Andrew Adamson

"Edmund is probably the most developed character in the book, and he was in some ways the easiest to know what to look for, but the hardest to find. Then along came Skandar and he was, really bright, funny, energetic, just full of beans, and very wicked. He had a wonderful darkness in his eyes and was mischievous, sweet and adorable all at the same time. Those were the character traits I really wanted Edmund to have - to be able to pull off this darkness and still be lovable." -- Andrew Adamson

"Skandar has girls' disease, which is a, um, mild form of hating all women. " -- William Moseley
