I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me.

I always say that the times in my life when I've been happiest are the times when I've seen, like, a sunset.

I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can't handle it all of the time.

I'm reminded of who I am, who I was, and who I'm supposed to be.

The comic book world is so dangerous, you know what I mean? You say one thing and people - they're ravenous - they are very opinionated fans. But they're great fans.

I decided to make 'Captain America' because I realized I wasn't doing the film because it terrified me. You can't make decisions based on fear.

I can’t believe I was almost too chicken to play Captain America.

What does a woman want? More.

The greatest enemy of any vision is discouragement or disappointment

We’ve gotten to that stage all soulmates reach of speaking in broken phrases and incomplete sentences, our connected and all-knowing minds filling in the blanks left by redundant words.

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world.

Poetry is the opening and closing of a door leaving those who look through to guess what is seen during a moment.

The surest way to fail is not to determine to succeed.

If we want to create a different future, we must have the courage to look at the past.

The horizon is an imaginary line that recedes as you approach it.

It wasn't his, it wasn't my fault, we both had nothing except patience, but Death has none. I saw him come (how meanly!) and I watched him as he took and took: none of it I could claim as mine.

There is no such thing as bad whiskey. Some whiskeys just happen to be better than others. But a man shouldn't fool with booze until he's fifty; then he's a damn fool if he doesn't.

None of the parties want this conflict to go on.
