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.
I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.
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.
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.
When I started doing movies, every crew member was older than me.
When you kill somebody in the movies, it matters, whereas in literature it can be allegorical.
Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies, and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.
When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.
The thing that’s protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.
I do other sorts of things. I act in other people’s movies. I direct operas. I write books.
