I like girls who aren't so la-di-da. L.A. is so la-di-da.

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me.

I always say that the times in my life when I've been happiest are the times when I've seen, like, a sunset.

I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can't handle it all of the time.

I'm reminded of who I am, who I was, and who I'm supposed to be.

The comic book world is so dangerous, you know what I mean? You say one thing and people - they're ravenous - they are very opinionated fans. But they're great fans.

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.

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.

I am single and not looking to be in a relationship.

But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.

I can’t believe I was almost too chicken to play Captain America.

…I realized my happiness was artificial. I felt happy because I saw the others were happy and because I knew I should feel happy, but I wasn't really happy.

A good laugh makes any interview or any conversation so much better.

For now, feeling as though my own brain were unhinged or as if the shock had come which must end in its undoing, I turn to my diary for repose. The habit of entering accurately must help sooth me.

Being asked what animal you'd like to be is a trick question; you're already an animal.

While craving justice for ourselves, it is never wise to be unjust to others.

And everyone who wills can hear the Voice. It is within every one. But like everything else it requires previous and definite preparation.

The Western sexual revolution sucks. It has not worked well enough for women.

Prends l'e loquence et tords-lui son cou! Take eloquence and break its neck!

It's not a college degree that makes a writer. The great thing is to have a story to tell.

I almost never do free writing. Unless I am forcing my students to do it.
