There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

I don't like a lot of things like [Iraq], I never did. Being in a position of celebrity and having your words carry such unnatural weight...I've always been a bit squeamish when it came to that kind of thing.

I've had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people - you could almost call them marriages, even though I didn't marry. But it was costly.

It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

Freedom, baby, is never having to say youre sorry.
