Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Thing are made slowly and in pain.
Look, my philosophy in life is expect nothing and everything is a bonus.
I'm not a loner at all.
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.
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.
One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It's just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy.
The moment your kid's born you realize no one knows anything. No one goes to classes. You just have a kid. You can read all the books you like, but unfortunately none of our kids have read the books so they don't care. You're basically making it up as you go along.
Talking about an X-Men Kissing scene I had to lay down there and think of England as one by one they bring out the girls. It was a very tough morning... After each girl had finished, the crew would hold up scorecards.
Doing anything worthwhile takes forever.
I'm quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win.
I remember at one point being in fellowship, and everyone used to wear the fish symbol; it said you were a Christian. So I asked my father, 'Dad, why don't you wear that at work?' And he said, 'Your religion should be in your actions.' He set a great, great example.
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.
Tiramisu is my favourite.
You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.
