Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin's stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.

My power is the ability to control water molecules and form them into ice.

There are rumors, rumors, rumors. I'm always the last one to know about these things, literally.

Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.

Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone's relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie.

I read the comics long before I was ever involved with the films.

I just got Kill Bill: Vol. 2. I've watched it like eight times in the past two months. I just love the scene at the end between David Carradine and Uma Thurman.

Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.

It doesn't get more iconic than Terry Fox.

Why would people spend good money to have my pants?

The genre of fantasy is about magic and occult characters.

I never could have planned this, and now I'm in my ideal situation career-wise and just sort of where I am in my life, and I'm super happy with how everything's going.

Ultimately, I think it's just going to get you that exposure, get you in that door, get you that recognition that will hopefully get you opportunities.

I think it is important that you care about the characters, and you are not just waiting for the next action sequence but have a vested interested in what happens to them.

Above and beyond having the social life, to have a core group of people that you work with and spend time with and learn how to work with is a nice thing.

So it wasn't actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.

No designer has really wowed me yet, I'm into other people's recommendations when it comes to fashion.

Some people talk about screen kisses being strange or uncomfortable. But I think that I got along with Anna well enough that it just happened; it was a fun day of shooting.

You get bored if you do the same thing too much.

Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up.

Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin's stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.

I think it's more fun to play a hero with an edge.

Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.

As a teenager at high school, I felt like an outsider.

I would love to be able to pursue music as a career but honestly, I'm just not good enough.

I'm a video game buff.

Instead of being on teams at school, I was preparing for auditions.

Playing a character who's dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with, because I feel that everyone has been through it.

I'm 25, so I've already gone through what my character Ged goes through, though it's on a general scale because I haven't studied at a wizard's school.

I think Ian McKellen made it all happen, because he used to throw dinner parties and invite everyone over.

Every day on set, there was something to watch and learn.

The real excitement and big deal for me started when I got cast in the first X-Men, which was sort of a fluke.

My body looks like 30 but my face looks like 50. But I cannot walk bare-chested in the streets. I like to do these movies to challenge myself physically.

Getting married is like trading in the adoration of many for the sarcasm of one.

I always was trying to make people laugh as a kid. I was a big fan of Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner. I watched them and I remember feeling as a child, when I heard the laughter they got, a little jealous that they made someone laugh like that.

I love that UNLV is a big-little school, that you can still have access and support as a student.

I love the honesty of New Yorkers. When a New Yorker says 'let's do lunch,' they actually mean it. In L.A., when they say 'let's do lunch,' they're just trying to say good-bye.

I myself feel that it is very important that my ISP supplies internet to my house like the water company supplies water to my house. It supplies connectivity with no strings attached.

I realized that acting was the thing I was still maybe the best at. Of the things I felt like I was good at, that was the thing that came the most naturally to me.

By the time I got writing 'Halcyon,' I was on a roll, and I realized I had so much to write about, I realized I had so much built up inside that I couldn't really alleviate before, and then all of a sudden it was like reservoir burst.

Both my husband and I give a lot of ourselves in what we do because that is our public lives; but in my private life, I have an intrinsic right to be left alone.

The most significant barrier to female leadership is the actual lack of females in leadership. The best advice I can give to women is to go out and start something, ideally their own businesses. If you can't see a path for leadership within your own company, go blaze a trail of your own.

An idea when lighted often glows to illuminate other ideas.

I run a design studio in New York. Every seven years, I close it for one year to pursue some little experiments, things that are always difficult to accomplish during the regular working year. In that year, we are not available for any of our clients. We are totally closed. And as you can imagine, it is a lovely and very energetic time.

The world of 'The Hunger Games' is a paranoid survivalist's dream.

I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus until I met my nanny, who helped me through a failing marriage and raising my two boys in a New York City apartment. She showed me by example what it was like to be able to talk to Jesus and bring all my cares and worries to Him. That was in 1990.

I was born and raised in the oldest settled part of the nation and in an environment in which racism was officially mooted.

When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.

All of us know today the value of communications satellites, weather satellites, resources satellites, etc.
