I was really sad after 'The Avengers' when I realized I was not going to have a part in 'Thor 2' or 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' But I'm not arguing with my fantastic plane and my really cool car.

I'm just an actor who happened to love these [Marvel] comics when I was a kid, and got to rediscover them.

Because I'm stern and scolding [the characters] sometimes, I'm sure I'll get a ton of grief.

I thought there would be more time in my trailer to write during 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' but I seem to be always flying in a harness and conquering supervillains instead.

I think most of the actors that I know that I think are good are kind of funny people. There's just something about being alive to the truth of a moment that makes a good joke that also makes a good actor.

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 had worked in this New York theatre company for my first eight or nine years out of college, acting and directing there, and I'd begun to write a little bit.
