Other people can think ahead all they want. I just focus on the task at hand and try to move on.
I think that'll always be there for [Clint] Barton, right? You have real life, and then you have fight life. And that's the character that I love now - discovering that in him makes him a very sort of accessible Avenger. That'll always be there, I'm sure. And it certainly plays in this one.
You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.
I don't change. The things around me change.
I don't really think there's much difference between a character actor and a leading man besides aesthetics.
I don't want to play a bad guy who doesn't have a bit of good in him.
I guess I just have one of those resting faces that makes me look like I want to beat you up.
There are rumblings of Captain America 3. I don’t know what’s going to happen there. I’ve got to find the time, man (laughs). I’m trying to stay home and I can’t.
And I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f---ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel? It's none of your goddamn business.
I was always a singer. But I was always focused on being an actor as my trade. Music I do just for me. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.
I think there's a great connection between these two characters for sure. I mean, I don't know if she's coming over for dinner on the Barton ranch...
I feel connected to that idea of wanting to belong to something, to have a sense of purpose as a man on the planet.
I'm attracted to those kinds of roles that could be good or could be bad, and you just don't know.
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.
