“I've managed to do movies and still keep a lifestyle where I can go to ballgames, go to a grocery store like everybody else.”
Movies“When I found out I had to take off my shirt in 'Teen' movie, I panicked and hit the gym. I was like, 'It's going to be on film, documented, for my children to see. I can't be 140 pounds. I need to put on a little bit of muscle.'”
Teen“I've managed to do movies and still keep a lifestyle where I can go to ballgames, go to a grocery store like everybody else.”
Movies“If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies - and I have a nice house, a nice car. I'm fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.”
Car“I am single and not looking to be in a relationship.”
Relationship“I decided to make 'Captain America' because I realized I wasn't doing the film because it terrified me. You can't make decisions based on fear.”
Fear“But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.”
Happiness“What do I geek out about? What am I? Hmmm. I love movies. I watch movies. I like big, sweeping epics, like Ed Zwick stuff: 'The Last Samurai,' 'Legends of the Fall,' 'Blood Diamond,' 'Glory.'”
Movies“It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters, or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on, like 'Back to the Future' and all those John Hughes movies, the studios aren't doing. It's hard to get them on their feet.”
Future“For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot, I took classes. At 18, I told myself if I don't live in the woods by myself by the time I'm 25, I have failed.”
Christmas“I love acting. It's my playground, it let's me explore. But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.”
Happiness“I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.”
Movies“You know, the reward for 'Captain America' is amazing. It's always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff - the special effects.”
Amazing“For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.”
Birthday“What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life, but the problem is, I chose a business saturated in judgment.”
Business“All my good movies, nobody sees.”
Movies“When I found out I had to take off my shirt in 'Teen' movie, I panicked and hit the gym. I was like, 'It's going to be on film, documented, for my children to see. I can't be 140 pounds. I need to put on a little bit of muscle.'”
