"By nature I'm not a brooder."

"I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work."

"I would love to have a robot at home."

"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."

"Singing is incredibly physical."

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

"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."

"One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It's just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy."

"But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer."

"Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me."

"That's all about the natural order of things, the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature."

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

"Coming to terms with our true natures and who we really are has always been a fascination to humans. I know it fascinates me."

"I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them."

"For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy."

"I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist."

"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 always felt love from both my parents."

"I like to dress up in a tailored suit from time to time, and there's a tailor I go to in Naples who's fantastic. But if I told anyone his name, I'd have to kill them."

"If I could only do one exercise, it would be dead lifting. For cardio, I dance, I ride my bike, I run and I have kids. There is a... lot of cardio just from being a parent."

"It's absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There's a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it's better for the audience."
