Quote

But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer.

When you're playing an icon like Wolverine, it's sometimes better to be someone that nobody knows because they don't know what to expect. I don't mind a little bit of anonymity it helps on the subway.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.

My parents were drawn to the idea that there was space and opportunity in Australia. For the meagre sum of £10, you could sail your entire family out to Australia, so that's what my father chose to do.

I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is non-confrontational. We believe there are many forms of scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

I treat auditions like I treated my first dates. It's an opportunity to get to know a stranger and to learn from each other.

Comic book fans have loved Wolverine, and all the 'X-Men' characters, for more than the action. I think that's what set it apart from many of the other comic books. In the case of Wolverine, when he appeared, he was a revolution really. He was the first anti-hero.

Your wife is always right. Very simple. I think I'm going to get it tattooed on my forehead.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

If you never fall in love with your character, you'll never be able to do that character justice. No matter who it is, no matter what the character does, you have to find the reason for it. Everyone's got a reason for what they do, even if it's a reason that they're not proud of.
