Any time you make a movie where you’re living in a certain head space for an extended period of time, it’s tough not to take a little piece home with you. – Chris Evans
The trick is, when you try a good pair of jeans on, you may not think they’re that great, but you wear them two months, and they become your favorite jeans. They’re tricky. You gotta let them live. – Chris Evans
I hate myself in interviews. All of a sudden, you stop and you’re like, ‘Chris, how dare you?’ I don’t live in Darfur. I have both legs. But you can’t walk around all the time being like, ‘I’m so grateful I’m not in Darfur.’ – Chris Evans
I love acting. It’s my playground; it lets me explore. But my happiness in this world, my level of peace, is never going to be dictated by acting. My goal in life is to detach from the egoic mind. – Chris Evans
I like pursuing new endeavors. That’s part of the reason I wanted to direct. I like to create things. I’m a Gemini. I’m always looking for something new. – Chris Evans
If you want to be around in 10 years you’ve got to do something to differentiate yourself from the pack. – Chris Evans
I really like people who have the gift of the gab. I like characters that are very eloquent, articulate and confident in what they’re saying. Especially coming off ‘Captain America,’ who’s very internal and intimate, I’d love to play someone who wears their emotions on their sleeves, potentially to a fault. – Chris Evans
I’ve managed to do movies and still keep a lifestyle where I can go to ballgames, go to a grocery store like everybody else. – Chris Evans
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies – and I have a nice house, a nice car. I’m fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good. – Chris Evans
With the second ‘Captain America,’ we really pushed the envelope in terms of what this guy is capable of, which I was excited to see. Because in the first ‘Captain America,’ he’s just strong. In ‘Avengers,’ it was still, in my opinion, a little bit ‘punch, punch, kick, kick.’ – Chris Evans
Anyone who’s had a tattoo knows once you get your first one, as you’re walking out the door, you’re planning the next. – Chris Evans
I think diamonds represent luxury, indulgence, and class. So any time you can incorporate a gift that is synonymous with all those attributes, you know the other person will love it. I would challenge someone to find something that better represents Valentine’s Day more than diamonds! – Chris Evans
The majority of the world is empty space. Empty space, empty space, empty space. All that we see in the world, the life, the animals, plants, people – it’s all empty space. That’s amazing! – Chris Evans
You want to strike that happy medium: the balance of being able to find creative satisfaction in your profession, be able to afford a roof over your head, but still have the freedom to live a relatively normal life. – Chris Evans
At the end of the day, you’re handing your performance over. If a director says after a take, ‘You know what, try it just really angry. Just get furious’… you’re like, ‘Well, I don’t know if I want to give you that because I don’t know if I trust what you’re going to do with it.’ – Chris Evans
If women feel they are able to go from partner to partner without feeling emotionally invested and ultimately hurt, they should go for it. – Chris Evans
You know, the reward for ‘Captain America’ is amazing. It’s always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff – the special effects. – Chris Evans
I’ll say initially acting was my first love, and that’s what I pursued. But then, so far as even my first day on a film set, and just watching how things were set up, I just said, ‘I think I want to be in charge.’ I am very much type-A. I am a bit of a control freak. – Chris Evans
Acting is a trial-and-error business. Every actor has a few movies on their resume that they’re not terribly proud of, but that’s how you learn. – Chris Evans
I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume. – Chris Evans
I always say that the times in my life when I’ve been happiest are the times when I’ve seen, like, a sunset. – Chris Evans
I had eel at a sushi bar once; it’s disgusting. I thought it was chicken. It looked like chicken. It was brown and looked delicious, and I was like, ‘That looks safe.’ It wasn’t. – Chris Evans
There’s, you know, there’s an ideology behind Ultron that makes him more unique that just a bad guy. He doesn’t wanna just kill the Avengers. He doesn’t wanna just destroy the world. He has these monologues and these beautiful speeches that kind of embody a certain mentality about what’s wrong with humanity. – Chris Evans
But my happiness in this world – my level of peace – is never going to be dictated by acting. – Chris Evans
