Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

I think fear is one of the natural states of most actors, to be honest.

I kind of embarked on a fruitless search to find information about my character, Frederick Aiken. And it was fruitless, unfortunately, because there's so little about him.

I did 'Narnia' because it was a good opportunity and all that, but really? I wanted to play Mr. Tumnus because he's my favourite children's character. That was awesome.

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.

I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.

At the heart of every really good Christmas movie is the threat, I suppose, to Christmas. Something is wrong with Christmas, in all of these movies. In 'The Polar Express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to Christmas. In 'Santa Claus: The Movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his Christmas.
