If there is one thing you should keep doing throughout your life, it’s learn new things.

Thanks to the many wonderful people Vibe has interviewed in 2015, we have picked up lots of new information – some priceless, some just interesting and some plain useless.

Here’s some of our favourites:

Your Local Guardian:

Tom Holland taught us that just because you’re Spider-Man, nothing changes when the front door closes…

“When I come home I’m still Tom, I still have to do the dishes and clean my room. I’m probably the same person I was two years ago.”

Your Local Guardian:

David Walliams on writing…

“I act out all of the characters when I write. I came from writing Little Britain and comedy show and then you would write to perform so I still write in that way.

“So I do all the voices, if people see me when I’m writing...”

Your Local Guardian: An Evening with Noel Fielding

Noel Fielding on how deadlines can aid creativity…

“It’s just pure fear. You stop sleeping about three months before you do it, thinking ‘I’ve got to write another joke, I’ve got to write another joke’. It’s horrifying.”

Your Local Guardian:

Boxer Chris Eubank Jnr on what it takes to be a winner…

“It’s hardcore training six days a week. You’re in the gym, running, sparring, doing strength and conditioning classes, eating right, going to sleep on time.”

Your Local Guardian:

US trainer and Biggest Loser coach Jillian Michaels on what qualifies her to give advice…

“I can confidently say that anywhere any reader may currently feel stuck in their lives, it’s very likely I have been there.

“Ultimately, over time I overcame all these things. With the right tools and skill set anything is possible.”

Your Local Guardian: Dylan Moran's mugshot

Not every comedian likes the idea of TV panel shows, as Black Books star Dylan Moran told us…

“I have had offers but I have always said no. I wouldn’t say yes to that, I would rather go down the mines to be honest. I don’t like organised fun.”

Your Local Guardian: Author Terry Deary

It’s fair to say Horrible Histories writer Terry Deary is not a fan of history textbooks…

“You can read a history textbook aimed at children and the language and the vocabulary is utterly dire. First children have to decode this before they get meanings, before they get education. You should just get a big bonfire of school textbooks and burn the lot.”

Your Local Guardian: Lee Nelson - Suited & Booted

Lee Nelson told us how you know it’s time to smarten up…

“First of all, I’ve had my 14th kid and I thought it was about time I grew up a little bit. One of them was the same age as me and I thought ‘You know what, this is getting ridiculous’.

“Also, I lost my staff discount at Sports Direct so I could no longer afford the gear, so to speak. That just made my mind up for me a little bit.”

Your Local Guardian:

The Dreamboys told us why we’re unlikely to ever have buff bodies like them…

“Going on a diet is one thing but going on a diet and having a pint at the weekend is going to ruin everything you have done all week. If you want to get into the sort of shape we’re in you have literally got to dedicate everything you have go to it.”

Your Local Guardian: Alan Titchmarsh

Alan Titchmarsh’s golden rule for gardening was simple but inspired…

“If you shop once a month and buy two or three things every month, you end up with a garden which always has something to look at.”

Your Local Guardian: Gregg Wallace

Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace answered that age-old question about whether the contestants’ food goes cold before he tastes it…

“You don’t eat hot food. You just think you do. If it’s hot, you can’t eat it.

“How long will it take you to serve and finish a roast dinner? How long will it take you in a nice restaurant to finish a plate of food? 15 minutes, 20 minutes? That’s not hot.”

Your Local Guardian: Meopham TV presenter Laura Hamilton on new show Beat My Build, A Place in the Sun and having a baby

A Place in the Sun’s Laura Hamilton gave us some tips on how to dress well for Ladies Day, and it’s not necessarily to do with your clothes…

“When you walk around in an outfit, your persona, the way you carry it off can actually highlight whether you are well dressed or not. It can help make an outfit stand out.”

Your Local Guardian:

Starring in a movie with yourself is far from straightforward as Tom Hardy, who played both Ronnie and Reggie Kray in Legend, explained…

“It was more of a mental puzzle that needed to be unpacked and life breathed into it.

“It was kind of mathematical in a strange sort of way.”

Your Local Guardian: joey-essex-towie-croydon.jpg

TOWIE star Joey Essex taught us life is about grabbing opportunities…

“My advice to people is to keep strong, never give up and always do what you want to do. That’s what I’ve done. Every single thing I’ve wanted to do I’ve just done whether I was good at it or not. I always give something a go to see if I enjoyed it and whether it suited me.”

Your Local Guardian:

Fashion TV presenter Darren Kennedy told us getting the basics right is essentially to being well-dressed…

“If the foundations aren't right, then structurally you're not going to be sound and you are going to run into the issues along the way.

“So really build up a wardrobe of basics that are kind of going to take you and cover you for so many different occasions. You know, I am talking about the simple things like a crisp white shirt, a good pair of trousers, a really good fitting pair of jeans.”

Your Local Guardian: The Corrs will release their new album in November

The Corrs’ Sharon Corr taught us the importance of focus in the social media age…

“It has an incredible reach but the other thing about it is you need to be careful that it doesn’t distract you from what you fundamentally do, which is make music.

 “Instead of doing selfies, sometimes you should be writing songs.”

Your Local Guardian:

Mercury-nominated singer-songwriter Eska taught us that success doesn’t need to come overnight…

“There is nothing wrong with taking your time with things, it’s OK. The industry makes people feel that if it hasn’t happened yesterday then you weren’t any good.

“It’s ridiculous, the conflict of being a creative and having to get involved with an industry that is so time sensitive. Creativity isn’t and it shouldn’t be.

“You’re ready when you’re ready.”

Your Local Guardian:

Benedict Cumberbatch reminded us his Black Mass co-star Johnny Depp is a one-in-a-million

“Everyone goes on about the physical transformation but there’s so much going on inside. He really guns for subjects, he lives inside his characters for a long time.”

Your Local Guardian: What's On module top link image

Losing weight together can bring people together, as In the Heart of the Sea’s stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland told us…

Holland said: “When you get 21 guys and say ‘sorry you can’t eat for six weeks’ they are obviously going to get on together.

 “The weight loss accelerated our relationship to a point where we are all very close and it really did help us throughout the film…”

Hemsworth added: “It was unlike anything I had ever done before. It was like being part of a football team back in High School or something.”

Your Local Guardian: Rick Astley

Rick Astley’s side project The Luddites gives him an outlet…

“Making records all the time there is a lot of pleasure but there is also a lot of pressure and it is just nice to turn it up to 11 and knock the s**t out of something. And that’s what we do.”

Your Local Guardian: Blackalicious: Imani Vol. 1 (OGM Recordings)

Kidney failure has made Blackalicious’ Gift of Gab even better, according to his bandmate Chief Excel…

“As a result, he is extremely focussed and extremely committed. He is performing both live and in the studio at a level he has never performed at before. The discipline is there. He is definitely reaching a peak.”

Your Local Guardian: Pauline Black & The Selecter

The Selecter’s Pauline Black misses the good old days…

“In those days, there was sweat literally dripping off the walls, people would dance from beginning to end. I do miss that and the stage invasions – all those people on stage, all different ethnicities, which, to me, was amazing.”

Your Local Guardian: Rufus Hound and more added to Latitude bill

Rufus Hound has no nerves…

“Nobody dies. The worst thing that can happen is that you look like a tool.”

Your Local Guardian:

Wars of the Roses and Misfits star Robert Sheehan knows how to make himself at home in a dressing room…

“We got a gigantic Stormtropper and a big-boobed lady. Kare was just walking through central Kingston with a giant Stormtrooper and I had a booby lady on a pink ribbon. We were getting some strange looks from the people of Kingston.”

Nigel Havers is like wine…

 “The second stab at (The Importance of Being Earnest) is fantastic. Like wine, you get better as you get older.”

Your Local Guardian: Frank Turner - ready to hit the woods

Frank Turner told us why he’s given up on political lyrics…

“I have sampled the waters of protest singing but it is just not for me. I have always found that the stupider that people are the louder they seem to shout. I’m more interested in music.”

Your Local Guardian: Joe Pasquale is at Wycombe Swan

Amazingly, Joe Pasquale reckons he was the sensible one in the Spamalot cast…

“I am the only sensible one really out of all of them, and just watch on while everyone else mucks about around me.”
