One thing that I love about World Vision is every place they go, they go in with an exit plan, they don't want people dependent on them.

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.

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.

There comes a certain point in life when you have to stop blaming other people for how you feel or the misfortunes in your life. You can't go through life obsessing about what might have been.

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 can live with failure if it is born of conviction.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.
