Interviewer: You were originally one of our Top 50 models. Matthew: I'm very proud of that. Interviewer: Can you just do a quick run through for our viewers what you've done campaign wise? Matthew: Uh, yeah, let's see. Sicily, Tommy Hilfiger... it was weird how I said that, Ta-haamy Hilfiger. Um, I did some, uh, runways for Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton. Did I pronounce that right? I've been practicing. Uh, Burberry. Yeah, that's a good assortment. Interviewer: That's quite amazing, that's incredibly high level. Matthew: Oh, well, the standards were incredibly low when I was modeling.

"I saw Matthew Gray Gubler at UNH, and let me tell you, he is the funniest, sweetest guy in the WORLD. When he was signing autographs he just kept saying of course, of course!," a fan of his said.

This American beauty was High School Valedictorian and a student at Northwestern University, where she studied chemical engineering.

She studied French, Russian and literature at Oxford University. She also won the prestigious W.H. Smith Young Writers’ competition twice in a row for her short stories and poems.

Natalie Portman graduated High School with a 4.0 average. She later opted for studying for finals instead of attending the premiere of her movie The Phantom Menace. This got her into Harvard University, where she studied psychology and got published in several professional science journals. She’s also fluent in Hebrew, French and Japanese. Definitely more than just a pretty face!

What is the craziest thing you have ever done for a love interest? “Wow… let me think… I have done some pretty crazy stuff… I once hand made a girlfriend a 50 page leather bound book. It was an illustrated fairy tale about a princess and an eccentric magician. The magician had his heart broken so badly in the past that instead of keeping it in his chest where it could easily get hurt again, he kept it locked up in a rusty trunk under his bed, where it had withered into a shriveled apricot. A lot happens that can’t really be summed up in one paragraph, but at the end, his apricot heart swells to the size of a house and they end up living happily ever after inside of it. It took me about a month to make, it was all rhyming, hand painted… something I was pretty gosh darn proud of. I really poured a lot into it, and I think its filled with some of my best paintings yet. Sadly in real life the story didn't end as happy as it did in the book."

You act, direct, make films, paint, have your own music label... do you work at night? "I do! I get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I'll, like, die. So throughout my life I've always tried to remain busy, and I sort of know no other way. I think if my heart rate slowed it would affect my constitution, strangely. I've been trained to do that. My parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me from a young age, fortunately."

"It’s maybe only people who are more interested in getting notoriety that really resent me. And if they’re only in it for their own fame and ego, then I don’t really care if they’re annoyed. I just want to entertain people and I’m lucky to get to do that on a big scale. But if I weren’t on the show, I would still be doing everything in my power to entertain people, even if it were on a much smaller platform, even if it were only for my mother."

“I once gave a girl a bloody fake ear in a Tiffany jewellery box with a letter that said, “Will you Gogh to prom with me?” Yeah, I guess I’m a romantic.”

What's your favourite part of working on Criminal Minds? "I love entertaining people in any way possible, and truly, the best part of filming it is seeing that the fans are so loyal and loving and supportive. That's a very cheesy answer, but I feel like we've got a very specific set of cult followers. Lovely fans that are some of the nicest people I've met in my life. So knowing that I get to bring them an ounce of entertainment [is great]."

"I’m sort of pretty easygoing. I don’t really have any diva qualities."

"I don’t really think I’m above anything."

"Dr Reid is a bit of a workaholic, kind of like me. He doesn't really have time for a girlfriend.”

"I’m a big fan of handmade, handcrafted, truly made-from-the-heart things."

"I’m just a fan of people accepting their own character."

"My grandfather on my mother’s side grew up in Hollywood and did a lot of sound engineering. He recorded Bing Crosby’s albums. He also wrote a manual on celestial navigation for boats, which is still used today. He was a very smart fellow."

"We lost her and A. J. Cook for no reason at all and that is sort of offensive to me because they're my friends, and they did a good job. These are my best friends in life, these actors, so losing them changed everything. And I'm so glad that the band is back together now. I hope that Thomas doesn't leave. I think Rachel [Nichols] will leave. Which is sad, she's a nice girl. But I know that just because she's not on the show doesn't mean I won't talk to her. She's a friend and I know I'll speak with her on the weekends."

He (Dr Reid) likes her mind so he doesn't necessarily want to meet her (Dr Reid's girlfriend).

"Find what you love and do it for the rest of your life."

"With any kind of art form I feel like, rather than taking lessons, the best lesson you can have is to be genuine."
