I've been asked many times if I considered myself a narcissist, so I looked up the real meaning of the word, and I came to the conclusion that indeed I am one. I think of myself as better than other people, not every person, but many, unique and talented, and I aim to success.

I have only one ambition, which is to be famous.

The entertainment industry and my place in it is a place where you burn brightly for as long as you can.

My dad sent Frank Sinatra a dollar bill to autograph, and when it came back, signed, he had it framed: it was always up on the wall in whatever flat we were in.

The definition of success to me is not necessarily a price tag, not fame, but having a good life, and being able to say I did the right thing at the end of the day.

I do not regret having done 'Game of Thrones,' but I have nothing to say. I understood neither the series nor its success when I was attending. The experience was very strange; it passed under my nose.

I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.

There's no escalators - there's only staircases to success. There is no substitute for hard work.
