I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors on small movies and big movies.

James Cagney Steve McQueen I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.

All that running around in my underwear put money in my pockets. I can focus on working in interesting movies without having to worry about supporting myself.

And anyway it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.

When you kill somebody in the movies it matters whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

When I started doing movies every crew member was older than me.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

Everybody gets typecast in movies but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look so you have to fight that. If producers had their way I'd only be in action films but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.
