New York is full of crazy people, and I like that.

I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.

I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.

I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.

I'll tell you what I hate - bands like My Chemical Romance.

When you have a child, you are just immediately changed forever. You put yourself second. Your child comes first, and everything that you do is with them in mind.

New York is great for people watching and there's a bunch of amazing rooftops.

I never realised that the Edinburgh skyline was so interesting - it's gothic and very urban and there's a lot of church spires and old brownstone buildings.

I love anything that kind of removes me from myself and employs something else. So, I love accents and I love pretending.

I'm awkward around girls.

I wanted to be a journalist for a long time.

I don't have many Russian friends. My childhood friends are dead - either from bad health, or they died in perestroika.

What I know in my heart is that women and girls on the ground are powerful and that they are leaders.

A good face is the best letter of recommendation.

The real lost souls don't wear their hair long and play guitars. They have crew cuts and trained minds, sign on for research in biological warfare, and don't give their parents a moment's worry.

Women alone always order sole. It means something.

The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.

I, too, have stars/ and blue depths.

Everybody thinks himself so well supplied with common sense that even those most difficult to please. . . never desire more of it than they already have.

Photography is art when it's used by an artist.

When everyone is trying to be something, be nothing. Range with emptiness.
