I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do
Here's your opportunity, now you've got to make something of it.
As a kid, I loved any fantasy.
I'm not into watching stuff I did last week, let alone three or four years ago.
The opportunity to work with women who are at the top of my list of people I'd want to work with and who are my favorite women to watch on screen, was fantastic.
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.
At home in Victoria, we have three dogs, Tosh and Lucy, they're half Blue Heelers, and then there's Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes, I miss them a lot.
I think it's important to be aware of different people's styles and how you adapt or change or steal their ideas.
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.
For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.
I never felt big enough playing Thor. And then people talk about you like you're 9-foot tall and 800 pounds. I'm well aware of the illusion. There's not a second where I go: Yeah, I'm a god.
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 love that Viking era, but also they're a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.
