I swear in real life-probably too much-though I don't swear in front of my gran. We adapt to every situation.

Everybody in life is a chameleon.

Being in the Spice Girls was an insane experience.

I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.

This is me. Take it or leave it.

Give it your best shot, have a good time and if it doesn't work at least you tried!

Some things weren't designed to understand.

I don't think I'm a great singer myself. I'm all right. I've worked with different writers, different producers... I've just been blessed with the caliber of people I've been able to work with.

I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.

Every field and flower fades, but love is infinite.

Everybody starts with a clean slate only altered by unnecessary hate.

If you get so unequal that people believe they don't have a chance, that the field isn't level for them and their children, that puts democracy at risk.

Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.

All the doors that I had to close. All the things I knew but I didn't know. Thank God for all I missed. 'Cause it led me here to this.

Gratitude is a very pleasant sensation, both for those who feel and to those who excite it. No one who confers a favor can say with truth that they 'want no thanks.' They always do.

Nah, I don't watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.

I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.

If everything was going smoothly you would never build character.

When your views are truly contrarian, they are inevitably uncomfortable. Courage and the ability to withstand pain are required.

The main difference between illustration and comics is that comics are much, much more work. Every comics page is the equivalent of six to nine illustrations.

I sign so many autographs, my hand hurts every day.
