I've been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character.

My life has been the antithesis of that book 'The Secret'. I've always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.

You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one.

The best compliment was Ben Kingsley coming up to me, putting his hand on the back of my neck, and saying, "Good job, son.".

Of course, I'm not allowed to talk about the script, but I can say it is a really good story.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

I didn't follow the whole 'X-Men' story because it got too complicated. I'd pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.

I consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.

But a lot of shows, they pose questions and they give you a puzzle where there's no solution.

Nothing threatens a corrupt system like a free mind.

Isn’t it an irony of the sorts that most evolved people think that they are dispensable, lesser humans think that they are indispensable, and the devolved ones think that rest are dispensable.

You will find beauty in every person and experience if beauty has been cultivated within.

Techniques are not the most difficult to teach. The attitudes chefs take are much more important.

When you ignore what people are saying on a daily basis, calling for the annihilation of your country, you are ignoring them at your own risk.

He keeps this up, he's bound to be caught, she thought. And this time they'll dangle him for certain.

I go to correctional facilities and talk to kids there. They have little kids in there who are, like, 12 years old, stealing cars and stuff like that.

My schedule has not calmed down, but I'm definitely not so devastated as I used to be. Definitely cooler now. A lot of blessings have fallen into my lap, and I'm very thankful to receive all of them.

The fruit tasted foreign but indigenous, like sunlight a tree had changed through patience.

It's important just to be yourself. And probably stay out of trouble.
