I like to explore things.

As a kid, I loved any fantasy.

I'm for comfort, not for style.

Being a superhero is a lot of fun.

Strong female leads are important.

Keeping an open mind is always important.

For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.

Working with Anthony Hopkins every day is a blessing.

The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel.

I'd much rather put on weight than have to lose weight.

For me, life is about experience and being a good person.

Work all paled into the background as soon as I had a baby.

Here's your opportunity, now you've got to make something of it.

Sometimes there is more exploration in the character for a villain.

I get to stay active and that is my job at the moment, so I can't complain.

Growing up, my parents were my heroes, in the way they conducted their lives.

Eating when you're not hungry and taking in that amount of food is exhausting.

I'm not into watching stuff I did last week, let alone three or four years ago.

It wasn’t until Thor that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.

The more conflict and contrast you have with a character makes it more interesting.

Not often do you approach a character where people know more about him than you do.

It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.

My dad works in child protection and he's spent many, many years in that line of work.

Well, I'll keep on auditioning and one day maybe I'll go to LA and try out for films there.

I put the costume on and said 'It's not very comfortable, but it looks amazing,' so it's all good.

I enjoy working on a movie that lets your imagination run wild, it’s great to be a part of and watch.

My father and I are very similar and have a wonderful relationship, but we both stand by our opinions.

Having a director who is also an actor makes for that very relaxed way of working and it's empowering.

I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.

You come to America, and, if you do a big TV show, then you can be overexposed, or old, before you're new.

I can remember watching 'Lord of the Rings' and being truly regretful that I wasn't a being in that world.

I almost feel more anxious lately about, 'Here's your opportunity, now you've got to make something of it.'

I think it's important to be aware of different people's styles and how you adapt or change or steal their ideas.

Growing up I always loved films that transport you to another world and has things you never see in every day life.

As a kid, you run around the house pretending to be a superhero, and now to be doing it as a job, I feel very lucky.

As kids, our experiences shape our opinions of ourselves and the world around us, and that's who we become as adults.

It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.

Any time you have someone come up and say they love what you do and they get great joy from it is a very humbling experience.

I love that Viking era, but also they're a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.

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.

I entered the work force cleaning breast pumps at a pharmacy! It was a part-time gig while I was at school... no interview required.

I have sporadic OCD cleaning moments around the house. But then I get lazy and I'm cured. It's a very inconsistent personality trait.

I'm busier than I've ever been, but you can go through the lists of people who are bang up there one minute, and then just disappear.

You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do

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...

I'm lucky. 'Thor' has kicked off everything I'm doing, and it's been the greatest thing for me, but I am aware that I need to mix it up a bit.

It's much easier to hate someone on screen, if you actually like them off screen. It's a more enjoyable ride. There's nothing personal about it.

I'd like to think I'm a normal sort of guy, but go to my mum and she'll probably say, 'You know,Chris was always the daughter out of my three boys.'
