I just think I've always been sensitive and had difficulty containing my feelings, and I've always searched for outlets for that, because otherwise those feelings come out in chaotic ways that aren't always great.
My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.
That's all I want, to keep losing myself.
I read Naomi Klein's 'No Logo' when I was 15. It's one of the things that's shaped my relationship to fame - to endorsements, to selling things.
I have very strong feelings about what modern fame means, and the toxicity of it.
We're always serving something, even if we're not aware of it. We're usually serving capitalism.
I'm pretty good at saying no to things, at discerning between what I'm supposed to do and what I'm not supposed to do.
I worked in a Starbucks that wasn't very popular - before the big coffee boom in London. My boss didn't take kindly to my incessant sitting. I was like, 'Look, I've dusted everything, the stockroom is all figured out... I would rather sit now so I have the energy when a customer does come in.'
We're all one thing, and we're all just enacting different aspects of ourselves all the time.
It's much easier to gain control over a mass population when you pit them against each other.
When I found out about being cast in 'Spider-Man,' it was like this bubble developed around me. I was floating in it for a while. And then, suddenly, it evaporated, and I was like, 'Well, I'm just an actor. I don't get to actually be Spider-Man.'
I was brought up on American films.
Everyone has made themselves into a commodity with Facebook, Twitter - with all of these things, you're commodifying your life every time you post an Instagram picture.
In film, there's this kind of constant fear that you're going to be doing too much. That may be an unfounded fear because I love sizable performances on film, especially when they're by performers who push the boundaries of what people deem the right kind of size.
Films were really my church. As a young kid, it was movies and books; it was nothing remarkable, really, just that is where I felt soothed, that is where I felt most myself... safest.
I have been drawn to stories that are attempting to turn suffering into beauty.
We were under a lot of financial pressure when I was growing up.
I'd much rather be in the world than in some ivory tower somewhere.
