I'm a weirdo magnet, but I'm handling it better than I used to.

'Magneto' is a tragic figure. He is a man who has stared right into the face of ultimate evil... and he was broken into pieces by what he saw. When he healed, he healed stronger, but he also never fully recovered.

Writing 'Magneto' as part of a team took a little getting used to.

I'm inspired by almost everything I come across in life, and one way or another they find themselves sneaking into my stories.

My stories are often a little mysterious.

Stories come to me and I don't know where they come from, but afterwards I can look back and say, 'Oh yes, that's got a little bit of me, or a little bit of my own son in it'. That's where ideas come from.

I read as many scripts as I can and just find stuff that I think is interesting, find stories that I think are worth telling.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

I had never come across the 'X-Men' comics till I was asked to play Magneto, so I just jumped into that job.

I'm fortunate to be famous for two rather imposing characters like Magneto and Gandalf.
