horse bridges people
I've done my share of period stuff. I'm not sure why, but people say I have a period face. The bread and butter of British TV is Jane Austen adaptations and bridges and bonnets and boats and horses.
war loss generations
It was quite a European war until 1917, when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.
kings character expectations
I was so lucky because what I did in 'Thor' was I built the character from the ground up - the foundations of his spirit, really. He was someone who was born with an expectation that he would one day be a king, born with an entitlement.
spiritual who-i-am confusion
If the Loki in 'Thor' was about a spiritual confusion - 'Who am I? How do I belong in this world?' - the Loki in 'Avengers' is, 'I know exactly who I am, and I'm going to make this world belong to me.'
fun fighting men
I had huge fun with Chris Evans, as Captain America, because super-soldier though he may be, he's still a man, up against a God who in his own mind is infinitely superior. Then, in the ring with The Hulk, we've got this silver tongued, lightening quick mind up against the embodiment of rage..Loki has this mercurial, transformative ability, not just physically but intellectually, so not all the fights are purely physical. Mind games? Maybe..
acceptance love-is true-love-is
TRUE LOVE IS AN ACCEPTANCE OF SOMEONE ELSE FOR WHO THEY ARE.
fame unpredictable
Fame is weird and amorphous and unpredictable.
acting roles extending-yourself
With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.
hero thinking
I think we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own lives.
people might too-late
Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.
grateful
I even feel grateful for the failures.
children school doctors
I am no saviour. I’m absolutely the last person on the planet who can practically help. I don’t know how to make the different types of therapeutic feeding milk. I’m no chemist. I’m no doctor. I’m no engineer. I can’t manufacture polio vaccines or organise their transportation to the health centres in Saramoussayah or Bissikirima. I can’t build schools, or design drainage systems. I can’t provide the women and children of Mandiana with water.All I can do now is help make people aware of what is happening, of what they are doing. That is all that I can do. For now.
love-is acting circus
The bit I love is I really love acting, really, and the circus of being a celebrity is something I'm sort of not interested in. I find it strange
thinking world rejected
I think when the world makes you feel rejected, you bite back.
