I do just want to be an actor. The thing I get out of it is actually doing the job and inhabiting the world and the role - and I mean that genuinely. That's what I'm in it for.

I don't believe anyone is ugly.

Obviously making Peter Parker suddenly bisexual or gay wouldn't really make logical or dramatic sense.

When I was 6 I thought that I wanted to be a musician - like a singer-songwriter. That's what I romantically envisioned for myself.
