Daniel Radcliffe and social skills

So, I was watching a rerun of Inside the Actor's Studio and James Lipton was interviewing an eighteen year old Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). During the course of the interview, James asked Daniel what brought him to acting. Daniel stated that he was telling his mom that he was "crap" at everything. His grades were not that good, he did not like sports and he was not good at anything. His mother told him that he had great social skills. He, at the time, discounted social skills as worthless, but mentioned to James that in the end his mom was right and social skills had been more important to him than anything else. Even a young actor knows how important it is to be socially adept.
