Jeremy Renner quotes about
People find themselves in ruts all the time. You're in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped, but guess what, brother? You constructed that life. If you're OK with it, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you've got unease, then you've got to make a change.
I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.
There's too much down time making movies. That leads to boredom. And that leads to trouble.
I can't totally talk about why we divide, but... it's interesting because we're doing this scene today that's sort of the pinnacle of that. Two gangs fighting against each other, ultimately knowing that... ya know, it's like friends fighting friends. To me it's fun, personally.
I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore.
Yeah, yeah, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye type of thing. There's that kind of irreverence to it the humor and in the reality of what's really going on that plays into this movie.
I was an athlete when I was growing up.
I know what I like and what I want, and I can sit and enjoy every 10 minutes that go by. And truly enjoy it.
I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.
I'm consciously aware, specifically with the comic book world, where there's a built-in fanbase. But, there's a little bit of leniency because there are a couple different universes.
Yeah yeah, it's not so ethereal this time, it's a bit more rooted I feel like. Not that Joss 's wasn't, it was just a broader stroke that Joss was doing with all the Avengers. The Russo brothers are taking this Avengers 2.5, if you will, in keeping it still a Captain America movie. It's very sort of boots on the ground kinda thing, except for the flyers...
I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.
I guess gritty is the word that you said. But it has a different tone. We're not flying around in different universes - it's a bit more earthy.
I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.
