I didn't follow the whole 'X-Men' story because it got too complicated. I'd pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.

My life has been the antithesis of that book 'The Secret'. I've always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

I consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one.
