I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.
I excelled in English while I was at school.
If you're living two lives and you're lying to everyone, you're bound to slip up, in some way, you're bound to get something wrong, and you're bound to get found out.
I look at my contemporaries, and we're all at different stages and levels, and all choosing different routes, different ways to do things.
If you have created an image of yourself at 13 and it is still with you at 17, it needs to be dropped.
I've got lots of weird illustrations of me from Japanese fans.
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 no good at the one-liner thing. It's just not me.
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.
