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.
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
I was overweight when I went to school. In fact, I was overweight when I left, just taller. Fatty Cavill was the nickname. I mean, no one wants to be Fatty 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.

Not every job is a good job.

The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.
Henry Cavill
If I'm talking to someone and they're feeling a certain way, I will definitely tie into that very quickly. You have to learn to read emotions and feelings when you grow up in a family with four brothers - especially if three of them are a lot bigger than you.
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
As much as everyone says that Superman is good, a lot of other people might say that that's why they find him boring A lot of Batman fans might say that.
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
I didn't see a lot of comic books growing up.
Henry Cavill
The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.
Henry Cavill
Regrets are something you can't really have as an actor, because ultimately you'll end up destroying yourself there's a lot of disappointment in this business.
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
Whether someone else would have played Superman better or worse would be up for a lot of debate on the internet forums, I'm sure.
