I seem to have been cast several several times to do it. I think in this one, Phoenix is not purely evil. She was in the comic books at some point but the way the writers created her or we always talked about her, was that she was torn with her powers taking over and trying to control them at the same time. It was challenging to play which made it interesting for me to play this character.

The Dutch are a very practical people.

I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.

Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.
