Doing anything worthwhile takes forever.

I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is non-confrontational. We believe there are many forms of scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

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.

One of the Canadian customs guards got suspicious and said 'Haven't you been coming and going across the border a lot lately?' I finally told him I was auditioning for Wolverine and everything changed. One minute it was get ready for the strip search, the next it was come on and sign six hundred autographs.

But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do.

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

When lifting, I'm always with a trainer because the thing that makes a difference is that last 20% in your training, and he very scientifically looks after my food as well, because when I'm going for a 'shirt off' shot, everything changes the month before, and I'm timed down to the day.
