The war on drugs is being lost on a daily basis.

It's a great life being an actor, and I wouldn't change it for anything.

We're in an age of enlightenment, and we have a choice as a society which path to take.

I never think career.

I'm a passionate Welshman. I have a culinary relationship with language: I taste what I say because I have two languages, and each informs the other.

Howard Marks is a great friend and a great Welshman.

Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in 'Spider-Man' is human and flawed.

I don't do celebrity.

When I was taught Shakespeare in school, it was such an alien, sanitized puzzle, it made no sense.

I went to the Guilford School of Music and Drama, which was affiliated with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I was lucky enough to be taught by a beautiful, wonderful teacher called Patsy Rodenberg, who works a lot with the Royal Shakespeare Company as a voice coach and technician.

I never thought I would be in a film.

Well, I need to be frightened on a regular basis.

I freely admit that I am a bit of a misfit.

If I'd been a rock star, I'd probably now be dead.

Each generation needs a 'Spider-Man' to mirror their angst.

When I'm not filming, I do rock n' roll; when I'm not doing rock n' roll, I do filming.

I don't have a problem with green screen at all. I think children invented CGI. We invent worlds. A stick can become a sword. Or a bowl of stones can become a bowl of tomatoes. That's what children do, and that's what CGI enables us to do.

I've reached a point in my career when I can demand certain conditions, and one of them is a weekend break every three weeks during the shoot.

Both are two different things. As a VJ, you are yourself. But as an actor, you are playing a character that you want people to fall in love with.

I don't think anyone can make it in Bollywood without talent and hard work and it applies to all fields.

Alia Bhatt's role in 'Udta Punjab' is something I would like to do. Nobody can replace Alia in the movie, and she did a fabulous job, but I would love to do such roles.

When you watch films, there are so many different types of characters you want to portray.

As a young actor, everything new and different is an opportunity and worth its while.

I never even knew I would end up becoming an actor. It was coincidental for me. Once I did it, I realised it's what I really want to do.
