"  You play an Easter bunny with an attitude in the new animated movie Hop. What inspired you to take on that role? I&amp;#039;m getting to the age where my friends have children, and I thought it would be nice to do a film they could watch. I also quite like to be recognized by children; I find it sweet. Plus, I feel that the Easter Bunny as a character has never been properly articulated. Oh, really! How is he like you? He&amp;#039;s mischievous and cheeky and perhaps a little misunderstood. People see you as a bad boy. What&amp;#039;s something soft and fuzzy about you that would surprise us? The bad-boy label is just an assumption. I really never was that. I was a vegetarian, animal-loving child of a single mother, who I have been devoted to my whole life. I recognize that I have the ability to be selfish, but I also recognize that you can&amp;#039;t be happy if you only care about yourself at the expense of other people. What&amp;#039;s one of the greatest lessons you&amp;#039;ve learned from your mom? To listen to people and to treat them well. That&amp;#039;s something she does with every person she meets. My mum&amp;#039;s had cancer three times, and she&amp;#039;s always remained charmingly free of cynicism, very open to life, and wonderfully gentle while at the same time strong. Strength does not have to be belligerent and loud.  You&amp;#039;re also in the remake of the comedy Arthur, about a man who gives up a vast fortune for love. Would you do that? I would never give up love; I&amp;#039;d definitely give up money. I feel quite lucky \u2014 now that I&amp;#039;m married, I have this great love and partnership in my life that is the most important thing to me. I also happen to be married to a girl who is quite a lot of fun. And I&amp;#039;m discovering how lovely permanence and building an ongoing relationship can be, rather than always thinking, What&amp;#039;s next? Sounds like marriage has tamed you a bit. I think I was ready for it. If you&amp;#039;re wild, like a wild animal, marriage won&amp;#039;t contain you. I think that&amp;#039;s how a lot of people get into trouble. It&amp;#039;s sort of like someone who isn&amp;#039;t toilet-trained \u2014 this is the kind of thing that will compromise most marriages. Katy has said she plans dates with you months in advance because you&amp;#039;re both so busy. What&amp;#039;s a great date, given your chaotic schedules? The thing that constantly surprises people is how absolutely ordinary our relationship is. If you take away the things that glisten on the surface, like fame, our dates are really no different from yours or anyone else&amp;#039;s. Dinner and a movie!

Why?&amp;quot; Right now, he&amp;#039;s learning...TO DRIVE IN LOS ANGELES &amp;quot;And not to use my personality during driving lessons.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
