I wouldn't necessarily be star-struck. I haven't been yet. But I don't know what happens in the future - maybe one day I will be. You never know.
I didn't read comics as a kid - though, obviously, I've read a lot since.
I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.
The acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well ...
You treat anyone normally, and they'll treat you normally back.
As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt. . . . For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.
I read mostly historical fiction - lots of stuff set in ancient Rome and ancient Greece. I also liked sci-fi and fantasy: David Gemmell, Raymond E. Feist. It's a nice escape from the world. As much as I do love real-life stories, they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt.
I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.
If there's one thing that we're very good at as humans, it's remembering the bad stuff. For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.
I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.
It's our job as actors to make it look like it's not manufactured. If you have two actors who understand their characters - and therefore what they are trying to portray - then all they need to do is be the characters and there's a chemistry there.
No matter what era we're in, we need hope.
I'd rather feel empathy for a character that's fictional, so it doesn't quite tie into personal experience as much.
I was overweight when I went to school. In fact, I was overweight when I left, just taller. Fatty Cavill was the nickname. I mean, no one wants to be Fatty Cavill.
