I've got lots of weird illustrations of me from Japanese fans.
If you have created an image of yourself at 13 and it is still with you at 17, it needs to be dropped.
I look at my contemporaries, and we're all at different stages and levels, and all choosing different routes, different ways to do things.
I love anything that kind of removes me from myself and employs something else. So, I love accents and I love pretending.
I excelled in English while I was at school.
I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.
I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.
That's just a much more enjoyable and motivating experience for me, when I can see people who are just as obsessed with the idea as I am.
I sympathize with every kitchen porter.
I have, I think, eight mentors. It's crazy, but I need them. They are all really important to me. They keep me grounded and advise me.
I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.
I actually don't mind rats at all. I kind of think they're quite cute, but that's just me.
Dancing is like riding a bike.
I don't take any photographs. I travel a lot by myself, and I feel weird taking photos on my own.
