It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.

I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.

Write down five things you love to do. Next, write down five things that you're really good at. Then just try to match them up! Revisit your list once a year to make sure you're on the right track.

Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.

There was a whole display set up of all the X-Men paraphernalia. My wife couldn't resist telling this 5-year-old boy that I was Wolverine. The little kid looked up at me and he was staring at me.

The moment your kid's born you realize no one knows anything. No one goes to classes. You just have a kid. You can read all the books you like, but unfortunately none of our kids have read the books so they don't care. You're basically making it up as you go along.

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.
