“You don’t understand, it’s not a question of being rusty! I can flip the switches, I can turn the knobs, but my power comes from here [points to his head], comes from…[points at his heart] and it’s broken.”
“I see Charles as empathy. That’s his greatest superpower for me. He has the ability to care and understand what other people are going through and that has only been increased by all the chaos and trauma he has been put through in the last few films. So every time he is connecting with somebody, it’s profound. And that’s the most important thing he has.” (James McAvoy)
❝ It’s not their pain you’re afraid of. It’s yours, Charles. And as frightening as it may be, that pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It’s the greatest gift we have…to bear their pain without breaking. And it’s born from the most human power: hope. ❞
