Every film has challenges and all of us are doing it together, all the cast is doing it together so you keep each other motivated I guess and keep each other in check.

Not often do you approach a character where people know more about him than you do.

You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do

It wasn’t until Thor that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.

My mum always used to say to me that, out of her three boys, 'Chris, you were the girl!' I'd speak to her about far more things (than my brothers would) and far more things than she needed to hear about, too. I was a chatty kid.

I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.

Sometimes there is more exploration in the character for a villain.
