Daniel Radcliffe often thinks of himself as a "fraud"
The 22-year-old actor is starring in his first movie, horror flick `The Woman in Black`, since the `Harry Potter` franchise ended, and although he has been learning a lot on set he admits he still panics about his own ability from time to time.
Daniel - who started playing the schoolboy wizard when he was just 11 -said: "Sometimes I really feel like I`m getting the hang of it, because I never really had a process. My process was mainly that I hit my marks and I said my lines. So I`m kind of trying to find a process that allows me to find a sure fire way into a character, if it doesn`t come easily.
"I`m working on that. And there are some days when I feel like, `Yeah, God, I`m actually learning something, this is great!` And there are some days when I go, `Oh God, I`m never going to feel good at this. I`m never going to feel like I`m not a fraud.` "
However, the British star admits he gets "fired" up by those who think he will not be able to be a success following on from playing Harry.
In an interview with the new issue of Empire magazine, the 22-year-old actor said: "I`m very motivated by the doubts of others. Whenever I hear people talk about the Potter kids as if we are not going to be able to make it out of the series, that really lights a fire under me."
