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

Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.

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.

Why would people spend good money to have my pants?

Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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