I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

Vampires are total sexual metaphors; there's just no way around that.

Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.

We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.

I think sexuality is a window into someone's soul.

It’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...
