We met at a party 11 years ago when we were both on first dates with our now wives so we kind of bonded right from the get go.
If you get too heavy with the nods and winks, people get a sense that they're excluded from something. If they're in screenings and everyone's laughing, and they don't know what the hell it's about, somehow you feel excluded from the party, or like you're not in the inner circle. As a performer, that's the worst thing you can do to an audience. It's fun, but you have to be very careful with it.
If I go to a party I don't feel like I have to be in the centre. But I do find myself quite often being placed in that position. Even when I was younger at school, I would be asked to make a speech. I don't remember putting up my hand and all that often but I'd just find myself there.
I was brought up in a way that when you're at a dinner party, you don't grab a chip unless it's been offered to everyone else. It's the manners of being brought up by English parents.
I'm lucky to have worked in theater all over the world, but there's something magical about Broadway. The audiences are smart, they're educated. They go in ready and they're up for it, they're up for the party. It's a whole different atmosphere.
I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.
I have shocking teeth.... I'm being a little facetious-I just went to the dentist the other day, and he looked at my teeth and went, 'Oh, my God, you've got gray teeth.'
This cure is the source of the battle that's going on. You have to eventually take a side. That's what I think is great about this story. For Wolverine, he works that out. There is a lot at stake in this movie. I think that there's going to be a lot of shocks in store for the fans.
Action figure. People can stick pins in it, put in the freezer. It's far more dangerous than a videogame.
Probably look at it for an hour then paint it or throw it in the pool.
My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you...if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.'
basically, I'll make an ass of myself anywhere.
Peter's whole essence was very joyous. He was fearless, outrageous, and childlike, and he definitely lived life to the full.
