When you’re NAT on the net, you’re NOT on the net.
There comes a certain point in life when you have to stop blaming other people for how you feel or the misfortunes in your life. You can’t go through life obsessing about what might have been.
Transcendental Meditation gives you what you need, when you need it. It’s literally changed my life. Some of the clearest ideas or epiphanies I’ve had in life happened during or after meditating. Everything becomes clear and the truth starts coming out.
I treat auditions like I treated my first dates. It’s an opportunity to get to know a stranger and to learn from each other.
I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it’s a sign that I’m moving up the ladder.
As a boy, I’d always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn’t what one did for a living. I got over that.
I’ve dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought ‘Les Mis’ would be possible.
I’m not a loner at all.
By nature I’m not a brooder.
I’m a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical, and, of course, I watch it, but for me it’s pure.
Look, my philosophy in life is expect nothing and everything is a bonus.
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness...
My father taught me that losing your temper is a self-indulgent act.
I think one of the things I always loved about the comics was this idea that this character, when he goes berserk, that white, blind rage makes him incredibly powerful, but it’s also a great flaw. It’s almost like he loses consciousness of what he’s doing. During that he can do great damage.
I’ve never been on a film when an entire cast signs up for the entire time.
I come from the theater, so for me rehearsal is vital and a way of life. There are many film directors who don’t believe in it and some actors who prefer not to rehearse.
I’m an actor. Never trust an actor, whatever their energy is. I suppose you guys see that side of me, but I’m sure there’s plenty of people close to me who’ve seen the other one. I think if we’re all honest with ourselves, we all know that internal rage.
I always think the great parts outlive the actors that play them and that’s a stage tradition, that goes back hundreds of years and it should be that way.
I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!
I didn’t really know X-Men at all before I started. So I’d heard of this comic but I didn’t know it was as beloved or as iconic as I have now found out, but I just know fans are going to flip out at this.
It’s tough to watch a movie you’re in – you put everything into it, you want everything to work, and you never know until you see it all together.
