You've got to go out there and do your things. Whatever comes your way, you jump on it, and like anything, that's how you get your experience.
Im a believer in getting punched in the face. I know it sounds cliched, but to me, fighting is a metaphor for life.
By nature, you're aggressive, if you're a fighter, so you deal with things in an aggressive way.
I think if we live with more compassion globally, I think we would be in a better place. We've had more then we have had as human beings technology wise.
I think anybody who has a soul would themselves and their needs aside to help other people.
You get spoiled on Captain America, where your trailers two blocks long and its got three bedrooms.

It's not like being a professional basketball player where you're in a big house. Maybe three, four or five guys make a couple million bucks a year, but that's it. The rest of them have second jobs.
I'm giddy. I am like an 8-year-old child, every day. I feel blessed for the opportunities. I feel blessed that people are responding to the work, and I'm landing myself in things that people far more talented than I am are allowing me to work on.
I look at the script first and who's directing it and then talk to the director to find out what his vision of the movie is and if it matches my vision and then we go after it.
I'm not really enamored by movie stars.
I did 'The Grey,' and it was very intense and emotional because we're in the wilderness, and it was always 30 degrees. You kind of lose your sense of reality in the fact that you're filming a movie.
