More quotes by 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
It's difficult to judge other actors, because as an actor you're looking at different things than what an audience is looking at.
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
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 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.
Henry Cavill
Nature is a definite thing. But nurture is just as powerful. It can really mess with you.
Henry Cavill
I remember going, I'm really excited about this - I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity. But if something doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.
Henry Cavill
I'm from a family of six men, so I'm bound to be physical.
Henry Cavill
My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.
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
There is a story that you have to tell within a certain amount of time, and you can only show so much of the character. So as much as the script is born from the source material, there are certain limitations.
Henry Cavill
I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.
Henry Cavill
I hate to say found himself - it sounds so ridiculous.
Henry Cavill
Superman isn't moody or brooding or aggressive.
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.
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
No matter what era we're in, we need hope.
