In a new interview with Yahoo UK Daniel Radcliffe talks about his nomination sfor the MTV Movie Awards as well as his new roles in Kill Your Darlings and The Young Doctor’s Notebook.

“I don’t pay a huge amount of attention to the awards thing. In America people are much more open about their desire to win awards. I don’t have that. I never know quite what to make of it.” And asked about the chances of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 winning Best Movie when coming up against the likes of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and The Hunger Games, he simply said: “The wonderful thing about Harry Potter is that on the whole fans of this franchise are encouraged to explore and be open to lots of things. It’s not about you can only like one thing. Just stop fighting. Any inter-franchise war is about people trying to get their identity through a franchise. it shouldn’t be about being insular with what you love.”

He also talked to The Advocate about The Woman in Black, Kill Your Darlings, his involvement with The Trevor Project and more!

You portray Allen Ginsberg in your next film, Kill Your Darlings.
I feel I am incredibly lucky to be playing him. Despite the damage from his upbringing and his mother and what he went through, he really emerged into the most fully formed open, compassionate human being out of all of the Beats. He’s certainly the one you’d be most comfortable spending time around, I think. When you watch footage of him and William Burroughs together and see how much they care about each other and how close they were and the love between all those guys and the incredible sadness that brought them all together that they were all carrying in some degree. It’s great.
