As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt. . . . For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.

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.

I'm loyal to a fault. I may have learned that from my mother.

I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.

Why can men no longer be best friends? This is so stupid. Today if you show two guys being best friends they end up giving out an image that they’re gay. But guys don’t always need to be drinking beer, fighting in pubs or pulling women by the hair. They may have a deep affection.

This acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well...

It's difficult to judge other actors, because as an actor you're looking at different things than what an audience is looking at.

I don't think Americans look bad in spandex.
Henry Cavill
Image
I still don't have any crushes on actresses or models. It's always been one of those things with girlfriends. They say, Who's on your list? What do you call it, the Get Out of Jail Free card?

I just loved the coolness of [Sean] Connery's Bond. He just sort of oozes cool.

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
Image
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
Image
Nature is a definite thing. But nurture is just as powerful. It can really mess with you.

Not every job is a good job.

I often find during a day of shooting I will speak in an American accent all day long when I'm doing dialogue. At the end of the day, it often takes an effort when I'm talking to my fiancee to bring my English back just because you're so used to speaking that way.

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.

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.

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.
