I'm not in Captain America because it takes place in the '40s. Both he and Bruce Banner are relationships that evolve during this - two more rock stars that I got to get on stage, ready to play ball.

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.

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

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.

I say that I get paid to travel, and I play the shows for free.

The worst of it is over now, and I can't say that I am glad. Lose that sense of loss--you have gone and lost something else.

Many an American jazz musician has been beguiled by the lush melodies and sumptuous rhythms of Brazilian music, but Peter Sprague has taken the romance a good deal further than most.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

I'm not the man to baulk at a low smell, I'm not the man to insist on asphodel. This sounds like a He-fellow, don't you think? It sounds like that. I belch, I bawl, I drink.

You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.

I would instill in my team an attitude of role modeling. We run to teach other people the value of physical activity. In all things, be humble and appreciative; hurt no one; help anyone you can.
