I would rather not work than play in a movie that nobody watches.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix... she finds a way to reincarnate herself constantly, so one never knows.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.

It's different for each individual. It's different when you talk about homosexuality. It's different when you talk about a malady like deafness. Everybody might have a different response to that and that's what makes it an interesting subject to throw in a movie.

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

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.

My French is still good. That's a beautiful language and I'm happy to speak it.
