I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all.

I have been lucky, of course. Like, last year, if I went out, I'd have to fight to chat someone up. This year, I look exactly the same, which is really scruffy, and yet lots of people seem to have just changed their minds and decided I'm really sexy.

I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning 10 pounds a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

My dad says he likes to bask in my glow.

I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.

If it's just screaming - and I know this sounds so ridiculous - that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos, it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what's going on.

I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said, 'Son, that is where you need to go.'

Having a persona people recognize, it's the thing that probably gets you paid the most - but it's also the thing that virtually every actor in the world doesn't want. 'Cause, like, no one would believe me if I wanted to play something ultra-realistic, like a gangster or something.

My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess that's who I should probably play.

I have very, very low expenditures, but still I manage to spend it all. I guess Hot Pockets are more expensive than I thought.

I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.

I wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with 'Twilight' isn't really what I'd planned.

I never really considered myself attractive. I was always kind of gangly in school.

I keep forgetting I'm speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It's really strange; I've never done a job in an American accent before.

I'm not one of these guys who's constantly in a relationship, not at all.

I'd read the book and liked the book, but it made me really uncomfortable trying to picture myself in this part. Here's this guy who seems to be the embodiment of every single perfect guy.

I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from 'Twilight,' which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one.

This thing with everyone knowing you, it's weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well.

I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. Even today, I go into these things where I'm supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I'm literally asking, 'If I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?'

When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.

I'm, like, a compulsive eater. I'm going to be so fat when I'm older, it's ridiculous.

Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool.

I did this movie about Salvador Dali a few years ago and had hair extensions and a little bob. That was incredibly bizarre.

I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from 'Twilight', which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one.

I really like Nicki Minaj. I think she's great.

If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.

My biggest problem in my life is I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist. In every awkward interview, normally actors get these things scripted.

People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have - don't find their personal lives interesting.

Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, 'Whoa, I'm so cool.'

My ideal of manliness is to be incapable of doing anything

The difference between a signature and an autograph is that the second one has higher face value on a plain paper than the first one even on a cheque.

I'm determined to be a diva.

I am all for the short and merry life.

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.

I think being gay is a blessing, and it’s something I am thankful for every single day.

I might be ugly, but my cars are real pretty.

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.

The government shut down 12 times under Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill. It was only shut down twice while I was speaker.

America is tough for rock music. Rock n' roll used to be the main music for the youth, and it's not so much anymore. It's hip-hop and stuff.

Our differences in beliefs do not truly separate us or elevate us over others. Rather they highlight the rich tapestry that is humanity.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.

Once I'm on stage, the energy of the crowd wipes my nerves away.

For me, writing for younger audiences and writing for adults uses two different halves of my brain.

When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.

To be a legend, you've either got to be dead or excessively old!

We've always had our hardcore fans. But the general public has a love-hate thing about the 'Kinks.' It always leaves people with a question mark on their heads.

If the project has good writing and is something I get excited about, then I'll do the role. And if it's for TV, I'll ask myself, 'Is it a show that I'd watch?' If it's a play or movie, I'll want to know if there's a good director attached.

I love Twitter, but some people use profanity so much that at some point it's like saying, 'Pass the salt.'

I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.
