All the PG-13 superhero movies are depriving me of the gore that I need.

I felt like people really do their best work when they're having a really good time and feel safe to push the envelope and make a jackass out of themselves.

I guess what we know about the Avengers is there's a reason why all of the heroes that we've been meeting, from Thor to Captain America - everybody - they need to work together.

I like anything Jennifer Lawrence is in. She's so beautiful.

Because I'm stern and scolding [the characters] sometimes, I'm sure I'll get a ton of grief.

There's very few people, who really thrive creatively under great stress and conflict.

One thing I've learned about the Marvel universe is that it's a little bit like God... if you want to make him laugh, just make a plan.

There's a different set of writers and a different director for the films, but Marvel has turned it into a pretty spectacular job.

There was a day on the set of Iron Man where I said, "I remember some of this stuff. I definitely had some Iron Man books. But, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a little bit of a weak spot for me."

I'm not secretly on the board of Marvel.

I was an 'Ironman' fan. It was in the '70s. I definitely liked comics and drew a lot of panels on my notebook when I should have been studying - probably why I ended up in the arts.

I'm not a legend or a hero, I don't slay dragons, I don't do any of the things that a real hero can. But I can make things better, one day at a time, for most of the kingdom.

If you resolve to give up smoking drinking and loving you don't actually live longer it just seems longer.

I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.

Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August.

A woman of haughty and fierce carriage, of a nimble wit and active spirit, a very voluble tongue, more bold than a man.

Be merry if you are wise.

I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!

Bullies are masters at holding others responsible for their misbehavior. Instead of claiming "the devil made me do it", they argue "You made me do it".

Jesus made it possible for us to have the peace that passes all understanding-the kind that carries us, stabilizes us, grounds us, and keeps us from slipping.

The only way to win money out of a casino is to own one.
