My mum and I are, in many ways, quite similar. We're both creative, gregarious, and energetic.

When you dance, your body just wants to find its natural weight. I'm naturally a lot more Tommy Tune than I am Wolverine.

I meditated before I hosted the Oscars, I meditate before I go on stage, I meditate in the morning and lunchtime when I'm on a film set.

It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.

Singing is incredibly physical.

If I weren't getting paid or didn't have a character like Wolverine to maintain, I would just be a tall, lean, fit guy.

Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk. I sleep a lot, eat a lot, and rest a lot.

Look, my philosophy in life is expect nothing and everything is a bonus.

That's the great thing about parenting. You end up going places you never thought you'd go.

The physical reality is assumed to be the wave function of the whole universe itself.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.

We have far more ability than we give ourselves credit for,

You can't tackle climate change until you tackle poverty.

I'm not doing Bond.

I can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard!

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.

I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.

I always felt love from both my parents.

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do.

When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.

Giving people a hand up, not a handout, is the way forward.

I'm quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win.

'One Night Only,' the words I'll be hearing from my agents when I tell them I'm coming back to Broadway.

I'm not a loner at all.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

Anyone who thinks they're indispensible is fooling themselves.

The longer it takes you to become successful, the harder it will be for somebody else to take it away from you.

If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument.

I like the Rolling Stones for karaoke. 'Sympathy For The Devil' is a great one.

If somebody in your industry is more successful than you, it's because he works harder than you.

I can live with failure if it is born of conviction.

I'd sell my soul for a good cause.

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.

Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.

Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are.

As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.

You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.

I've never been on a film when an entire cast signs up for the entire time.

To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.

I would love to have a robot at home.

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

To have memories of those you have loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories.

Meditation has changed my life
