More quotes by Henry Cavill
I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.
Henry Cavill
I work out two, two and a half hours a day. For 'Immortals,' it was body-weight stuff: crunches, pullups, and martial arts-based cardio.
Henry Cavill
People have this belief that actors are able to go out there and say, 'Oh I choose this job,' but most of the time we're just taking the job we can get. We don't just get offered thousands of jobs we might earn one job a year and that's the one we'll take because we've got to pay the rent.
Henry Cavill
I'm from a family of six men, so I'm bound to be physical.
Henry Cavill
Finding the physical aspect is important to me because that is often how we read people in everyday life.
Henry Cavill
I don't think Americans look bad in spandex.
Henry Cavill
A large amount of constant activity will get things going. For example, training in the morning will have everything, all the juices flowing by the time you actually get to work. So, when you're at work, you've been already up for an hour or so or two hours, and you're raring to go where everyone else is still wiping sleep out of their eyes.
Henry Cavill
If you have superpowers and no one can actually cause you any physical harm, then everything has to be very thought-through. You almost have to fake at being human.
Henry Cavill
I hate to say found himself - it sounds so ridiculous.
Henry Cavill
Everyone doubts themselves. It's just a matter of admitting it or not.
Henry Cavill
I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.
Henry Cavill
If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless.
Henry Cavill
When I first met my girlfriend, I was super intimidated. I wanted to impress her. I was thinking, Don't mess this up, man. You've gotta play your cards exactly right.
Henry Cavill
I wouldn't say Bond is an ideal figure, no. The character has been performed in so many different ways that people go, Oh, that's an interesting take on Bond.
Henry Cavill
Playing an icon [superman], you don't try to be an icon because that defeats the purpose. The responsibility attached is enormous, and the realization that it actually really, really matters meant that I wanted to put the most amount of work into representing the character properly.
Henry Cavill
Not every job is a good job.
Henry Cavill
Superman isn't moody or brooding or aggressive.
Henry Cavill
With Superman, there are certain limitations for an actor. You can't go past certain boundaries because then you cease to be what the character is.
Henry Cavill
A lot of the stuff you do as an actor - or I do, because I can't speak for everyone - is not always consciously thought out. A lot of the time, for me, it's actually just feeling stuff, and it happens all in the moment and your body reacts.
Henry Cavill
To play Bond, though, and then for the world to perceive you in a certain way, is very different from playing Superman. Bond is not this ideal figure.
