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

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.

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 love you best, and I'll miss you forever.

When you invest your life, you don’t lose it.

A successful man never allows his faulty of discrimination and judgement to be distributed by the rising tides of his emotions.

Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.

The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can't be on your own, wich is always so much better.

It seems that entertainment is what most excites us and what we value above everything else.

And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.

There's two sides to the coin. I think I'm much happier that [Barack] Obama won over John McCain or Mitt Romney, because I think Obama did something culturally for the country.

A genius who does not know that he is a genius is no genius.

I think it's very much a matter between Barbara Walters and ABC.
