I thought there would be more time in my trailer to write during ‘Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.,’ but I seem to be always flying in a harness and conquering supervillains instead. – Clark Gregg
The thing is, I love a great death scene – no good actor doesn’t. Sorry, any actor, I should say. – Clark Gregg
When there wasn’t a lot of work, I wrote a screenplay, ‘What Lies Beneath,’ which got noticed and got me more acting jobs. As I got more jobs, I was able to make my own films. That ethos of making my own work has provided me with a lot of opportunities. – Clark Gregg
I was a football player at college and dislocated my thumb. I was out for a bit and passed the theatre and saw some lovely drama students walking into an audition for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and thought: ‘That’s what I’ll do when I recover.’ I joined that production and was hooked. – Clark Gregg
‘The Avengers’ is exciting on the level ‘The Matrix’ or ‘Indiana Jones’ was when I was kid. I think it will be timeless. – Clark Gregg
I started out doing theater in New York. I used to go to Shakespeare in the Park a lot. – Clark Gregg
I was an ‘Ironman’ fan. It was in the ’70s. I definitely liked comics and drew a lot of panels on my notebook when I should have been studying – probably why I ended up in the arts. – Clark Gregg
New York is the perfect place for a film festival because there’s already so much energy and life here, and New Yorkers love movies. – Clark Gregg
I had worked in this New York theatre company for my first eight or nine years out of college, acting and directing there, and I’d begun to write a little bit. – Clark Gregg
I think about it, and I realize there’s been some version of a Batman or Spiderman or Superman franchise since I was a boy, since before I was a boy. – Clark Gregg
Sometimes being an actor is being a song in someone else’s mixtape, so I really understand why more and more actors are making films of their own. – Clark Gregg
The technology actually seemed to come at just the right time to make the Hulk – Mark Ruffalo was really able to play both characters. – Clark Gregg
There’s nobody who loves being around actors working more than David Mamet, especially actors bringing his tremendous dialogue to life. I’ve never seen a movie director who was happier to be directing a movie than Dave. – Clark Gregg
There’s something about the superheroes and the idea behind their relationship with humans, whether it’s a metaphor for the better part of ourselves, or the more flawed part of ourselves. So it seems to really be our own pop-culture version of Greek mythology. – Clark Gregg
Joss Whedon and all the writers of ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Thor’ found a way to keep Coulson saying something that keeps you guessing. I’m really lucky because a lot of people play agents and don’t get nearly as much fun stuff to do. – Clark Gregg
When I moved out to Los Angeles to get some film and television work, and couldn’t get any… I became a little isolated, a little terrified, and it’s a good place to get writing, because you’re so bored. So I wrote a few screenplays, and people notice those. – Clark Gregg
I was really sad after ‘The Avengers’ when I realized I was not going to have a part in ‘Thor 2’ or ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier.’ But I’m not arguing with my fantastic plane and my really cool car. – Clark Gregg
