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.

More quotes by 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
Certainly, for younger guys, Superman is this mythological character that they've thought about and explored in their imaginations... But one thing I really like about Superman fans is that they're so open-minded and excited and honest. There's something beautiful about their enjoyment of it - something very Superman-like.
Henry Cavill
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...
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
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.
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 never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.
Henry Cavill
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
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
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
Superman isn't moody or brooding or aggressive.
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
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
I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.
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 know I can't make everyone happy, but I know I can do the most justice I can possibly do to a character, or any character, if I put my all into it. That's the choice you have to make.
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
Everyone doubts themselves. It's just a matter of admitting it or not.
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
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.
