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.

To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food!

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.

You can't tackle climate change until you tackle poverty.

My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you... if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.'

I think adoption is a blessing all around when it's done right.

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
