Peter's whole essence was very joyous. He was fearless, outrageous, and childlike, and he definitely lived life to the full.

Rogue [Anna Paquin], as amazingly powerful as she is, lives a potentially very lonely life. Never being able to touch anyone, never being able to have a physical relationship, never able to have children. Now, as politically abhorrent as something like the cure is, it's also humanely, socially, incredibly understandable that a character like that would take it.

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

For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade shoes.

The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

I had spent some time in the outback, but to meet Aboriginals and work with them was wonderful. It gave me a great appreciation of how tough life is and about the indomitable spirit that the Aboriginal people have always possessed.
