I look at my contemporaries, and we're all at different stages and levels, and all choosing different routes, different ways to do things.
It's a difficult position. Do you endanger your child to fight for the right thing, or do you keep your mouth shut and let your child grow up in a world where their natural rights are stripped away from them?
I'm very good at meeting people, very outgoing.
I'm awkward around girls.
I'm still pretty terrified of heights.
I'll tell you what I hate - bands like My Chemical Romance.
I wanted to be a journalist for a long time.
I think everyone still thinks I'm 13.

I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
but it's nice when big stars come over and say, 'Great job.'
I'm a hard-mouthed northeastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.
I love documentaries. It's actually my favorite medium of film.
