I'm 25, so I've already gone through what my character Ged goes through, though it's on a general scale because I haven't studied at a wizard's school.

Lord of the Rings is a good thing for us because it opened the door for the genre in general. Le Guin's stories are very different from Lord of the Rings.

Playing a character who's dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with, because I feel that everyone has been through it.

So it wasn't actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.

Some people talk about screen kisses being strange or uncomfortable. But I think that I got along with Anna well enough that it just happened; it was a fun day of shooting.

Ultimately, I think it's just going to get you that exposure, get you in that door, get you that recognition that will hopefully get you opportunities.

Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone's relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie.

There are rumors, rumors, rumors. I'm always the last one to know about these things, literally.

Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.

As a teenager at high school, I felt like an outsider.

Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.

Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up.

Every day on set, there was something to watch and learn.

Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.

I read the comics long before I was ever involved with the films.

I think Ian McKellen made it all happen, because he used to throw dinner parties and invite everyone over.

I think it's more fun to play a hero with an edge.

I would love to be able to pursue music as a career but honestly, I'm just not good enough.

I'm a video game buff.

Instead of being on teams at school, I was preparing for auditions.
