My mum fought for feminism in her day so instilled in me the importance of equality. She taught me so much about women.

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 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.

I am single and not looking to be in a relationship.

But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.

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

What’s the difference between a dream and a goal? Ink. That’s right. Goals must be written down.

On the perfect night there is nothing more transcendent or terrifying than boxing. It's the ultimate representation of the guilty pleasure.

We believe in the empowerment of women and we will not compromise in that goal.

When I was on Broadway, people would really just recognize me around the theater. When you're showing up on commercials and posters, the scope of people recognizing you gets a little wider.

Anyone who has not rowed in a really close Boat Race cannot comprehend the level of the pain.

I was not talented enough to run and smile at the same time

I think we need to de-center the idea of US sovereignty.

Growing up, I always had two interests and two passions; one being public service and the other being the arts and acting.

Every student, without exception, should be able to succeed well at something consequential.

I'm going to the lobby to sign babies and kiss CDs.
