There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero.

As an audience member and as an actor I much prefer to find ambiguity.

I keep everything very simple. I like telling stories.

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

You know, it's amazing. I don't even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those, I suppose. I can treat myself to that.

There's no point thinking, 'Well, my life's certainly worked out, I've got all the answers.' It would be wrong for me to say that I don't get seduced by certain things. That things don't become tempting.

"X-Men" is not really about mutants; it's about humanity. I think it's about the human race. We're an absolutely destructive race. It seems that we can't seem to get beyond this level of tribalism that has been around for thousands of years. Anything we fear we tend to destroy.
