Growing up, my parents were my heroes in the way they conducted their lives. My dad works in child protection. As kids, our experiences shape our opinions on ourselves and the world around us and that's who we become as adults, because of that experience. He's certainly been my hero. A hero is someone who puts themselves on the line and sacrifices their own safety for the greater good and for others. And I think anyone in any sort of profession where the welfare of other people instead of individual is inspiring and important.

I never felt big enough playing Thor. And then people talk about you like you're 9-foot tall and 800 pounds. I'm well aware of the illusion. There's not a second where I go: Yeah, I'm a god.

I get to stay active and that is my job at the moment, so I can't complain.

I entered the work force cleaning breast pumps at a pharmacy! It was a part-time gig while I was at school... no interview required.

Well, I'll keep on auditioning and one day maybe I'll go to LA and try out for films there.

The opportunity to work with women who are at the top of my list of people I'd want to work with and who are my favorite women to watch on screen, was fantastic.

You can imagine how the kids teased me, with a name like Chris Hemsworth. 'Kiss Ham'sWart'-that's what they called me. Meaning if there was a piece of ham with an ugly wart on it, I was such a loser I'd probably kiss it. It was endless.
