The most important thing, in anything you do, is always trying your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down.
Tom Holland
The harder you try, the better the impression you set on the people around you.
If I can bring happiness to people all around the world, then I will try my best to do so.
Adrenaline has always been my thing.
Every kid goes through puberty, wondering what to do about girls and struggling with homework, and every adult has been through that.
I personally think if something's not a challenge, there's no point doing it, because you're not gonna learn much.
I feel like if you put something out into the universe, then you increase your chances of it happening.
I don't mind sitting at home playing the guitar for a year as long as I'm making good films.
I'm not a very good swimmer, and every time I'm in the water, I'm constantly reminded of that because I feel like I'm going to drown!
Fame is a beast that you can't control or be prepared for.
I completely and utterly rely on my mum. Without my mum, I would not be anywhere at all. I'd literally just be a couch potato.
I was in my bed scrolling through Instagram. It had been about a month since my audition. And Marvel just posted a photo saying go to our website and find out who the next Spider-Man is. I went on the Marvel website on my computer, and there it was: The new Spider-Man is Tom Holland. I went ballistic - like, absolutely nuts.
Colombia is so different to what I know, and every aspect of the country is different to England, and I loved it. I loved the culture and the food, and the coffee was amazing. The place that we were was stunning, and it really was quite an amazing experience to film out there.
My teenage life was a little strange.
When I'm acting, it's like I am the character - no one can talk to me. But I'm not so method I'd sell my house and live on the street to play a tramp.
I don't like spiders at all, but I love heights.
The ocean, to me, is one of the most terrifying things on the planet.
My biggest flaw is probably my attention span or lack thereof. And while it might seem contradictory, my biggest strength is my work ethic.
It's so fantastic for young kids to see a superhero going through the things they go through.
One of the reasons why Spider-Man is my favorite superhero is because we both undergo big changes in our lives.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero - maybe ever - because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That's why he's such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
I met two of my movie heroes. I met Tom Hanks, and I met Steven Spielberg. Oh and Quentin Tarantino.
There was times when I was bullied about dancing and stuff. But you couldn't hit me hard enough to stop me from doing it.
I go to The Brit School, which is where Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Jessie J went.
I think, from every actor I've ever spoken to, they say the biggest thing they regret from life is not finishing school.
I get recognized more for my 'Lip Sync Battle' than I do for being Spider-Man.
Zendaya is the one. At serving looks, she is the one to go to for tips.
I often find that superheroes are the bachelors or the billionaires - and everyone loves them. Peter Parker is basically the complete opposite. I just think that's what a lot of kids feel like as they're growing up.
I don't like spiders, man, just because they are sneaky - they just really scare me. They are hairy - ugh.
I'm studying theater and media. I don't really know why I took media, because I'm so useless with technology, though it's fun. But, I do love theater and am having a great time learning about all the practitioners and getting to perform with my friends.
Peter Parker's storyline hits every key point of growing up.
There is so much to sailing a ship. There's about a thousand different lines on a brig ship, and knowing what each one of those does, it takes a long time, and that's why you have these cabin boys that start on the ship, and they learn throughout the years, and that's why it takes so long to captain one.
I'm literally tone-deaf with singing. It's unreal.
'Fan' is an understatement. I had the Spider-Man costume, I had bed sheets, toys, you name it. I've always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.
Peter Parker can't dance. He can flip and climb up walls and do backflips, but he definitely can't dance.
My mom thought I could dance because I used to dance to this Janet Jackson song she'd play when I was a baby. Then she would take me to a Saturday dance school. I used to go every week and got spotted by a scout, who suggested I audition for the role of Billy in 'Billy Elliot the Musical.'
I actually have videos on my phone of me interviewing people and asking them what they thought of the new Spider-Man in 'Civil War.' They were like, 'Oh he's great. I love him,' and then some people were like, 'Nah, I don't love him. he's not great' - and I was standing right in front of them!
Bullies now aren't just jocks. They're rich kids in the nice cars with the fancy clothes.
I went to an ordinary primary school, and then I started performing in a show called 'Billy Elliot' on the West End, and that was sort of my drama school.
When I was in 'Billy,' I always knew that I wanted to do something in performing. I always knew that I wanted to have a future in the performing arts. I had no idea that it was going to be acting in movies.
I don't read that many books - I tend to read scripts for projects.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero, maybe ever, because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way.
When I'm on set, I don't really think about what an audience is going to think about a scene. I'm just thinking about how I can make it best. And how I can enjoy myself most.
I have been given such a wonderful opportunity, and I want to share that with people. If I can share that with kids in hospital, then that seems like the right thing to do.
It's important not to make Spider-Man masculine because he's a kid. As soon as you make him masculine, it's harder to relate to him if you are younger and are in high school. I definitely was not masculine in high school.
It's quite difficult to take a superhero movie seriously because everything is heightened. A kid being bitten by a radioactive spider and getting superpowers is kind of ridiculous.
The Internet has perceived me as this fantastic dancer. I can still do a couple pirouettes, but I am by no means a proper dancer.
When I was young, my mom realized I could dance and hold a beat, and I really danced just for fun. It was good exercise.
My goal was to try and kind of be our generation's Marty McFly. That was what my all-time goal was.
I have a photographic memory.
