Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.

I've dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought 'Les Mis' would be possible.

It's absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There's a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it's better for the audience.

I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.

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.

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

As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that.
