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.

Our goal is to leverage what is already out in the field in terms of partners, but then hire in project management capability and a bit of technical capability.

Only one in four jokes ever works, and I still can't predict what people will laugh at.

I don't really work out. I eat a lot of sweets. I have chocolate all over my house.

My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.

When the whole point of Queen was to be original.

When men have a smile on their faces, that does a lot for me.

For men, being too put-together implies femininity.

Scientology, Buddhism, the Kabbalah... if it makes people's lives better, and easier, then I'll do it. Why not? People scoffed at Christianity 2,000 years ago, didn't they?

The toughest thing about making movies is being apart from your family. One of the things I try my best to do is call my wife every day to keep up to speed with what's going on in her life. And tell her what's going on with mine.

You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.

It's about passion, and if somebody is passionate about a development deal, they're going to get it made.

Now I am careful about the kind of roles that I do.

During a visit to California, when a friend of my grandmother's told my parents that I must be deaf because I was not responding to sounds, my father was absolutely convinced that I was simply being stubborn.

Some days I don't have time for a full workout, but I do have to dry my hair, right? So rather than just stand there blow-drying, I do several kinds of leg squats at the same time. I believe in multitasking.

If you can't think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you've finished the three pages, don't write it; it'll be that much easier to get going next day.

I saw someone the other day with yellow on their eyelids, and it looked so fresh. But I thought if I did that I'd look like a clown. So I went and I bought some yellow eye shadow from M.A.C. and I noticed that when you mix it with water it works better. So I tried it, and I looked like Big Bird. I will never do that again.

A healthy mind and body are essential. No excesses. Proper food. The body is like a Rolls-Royce. With care, it could last 200 years. It's a dynamo; the more you use it, the more you recharge it.
