Comic books to me are fairy tales for grown-ups.

The only time I go on the set is when I have a cameo to do in the picture. I go to the set and I do my little cameo and I meet all the people. It's a great way to spend the day. And then I go back to my own world.

I know the world expects me to have superpowers, and it'll be quite a disappointment. But I just play myself.

I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.

When you work with people whom you like and you admire because they're so good at what they do, it doesn't feel like work. It's like you're playing.

I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.

I wanted them to be diverse. The whole underlying principle of the X-Men was to try to be an anti-bigotry story to show there's good in every person.
