I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.
Keeping an open mind is always important.
Being a superhero is a lot of fun.
Growing up, my parents were my heroes, in the way they conducted their lives.
Being a father is certainly a task...but the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family-that's what it's about.
It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.
Working with Anthony Hopkins every day is a blessing.
My dad works in child protection and he's spent many, many years in that line of work.
It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.
Chris [Evans] sent us a text that The Avengers assemble at such and such bar at 9 on Saturday night. That was a good group effort.
Growing up I always loved films that transport you to another world and has things you never see in every day life.
For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.
There’s a lot of pressure playing something that existed for so many years before you were involved, and already has a fan base. I approached it by doing it as well as I can.
I'm not into watching stuff I did last week, let alone three or four years ago.
