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
The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me.
-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
My worst hairstyle was a bowl cut parted down the middle. It was the ’90s. It was what you did. I had that from 4th grade until freshman year in high school. I’m glad the pictures exist. I had great hair back then.
-Chris Evans
I’ve been lucky enough – well, maybe unlucky enough – to have had a lot of friends who have had their ups and downs. And for an actor, that’s good. Life experience in any regard is good. So I’ve seen a lot and I’ve had my own experiences.
-Chris Evans
Nothing is worse than a beautiful girl fishing for compliments by saying how gross she is. On the flip side, I find genuine humility and modesty attractive.
-Chris Evans
I like girls who are self-deprecating. I like girls who make fun of themselves. If you can’t poke fun at yourself, what are you? I just want someone with a good soul. That’s about it. The rest I’m really flexible on.
-Chris Evans
What do I geek out about? What am I? Hmmm. I love movies. I watch movies. I like big, sweeping epics, like Ed Zwick stuff: ‘The Last Samurai,’ ‘Legends of the Fall,’ ‘Blood Diamond,’ ‘Glory.’
-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
I had no idea there were so many ways you could burn yourself out.
-Chris Evans
I weep at everything. I love things so much – I just never want to dilute that.
-Chris Evans
For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.
-Chris Evans
I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can’t handle it all of the tim
-Chris Evans
I swear to God, if you saw me when I am by myself in the woods, I’m a lunatic. I sing, I dance.
-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
It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters, or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on, like ‘Back to the Future’ and all those John Hughes movies, the studios aren’t doing. It’s hard to get them on their feet.
-Chris Evans
I really try to spend as little time as possible on grooming. I think if you have a good moisturizer and a solid razor to clean up the beard, you’re golden.
-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
I’m a big fan of working out on my own. I put my headphones on and I’m pretty good at self-motivating. At the end of the day, I enjoy it. Once I’m there and once I get going, I tend to love it, and I feel good.
-Chris Evans
I decided to make ‘Captain America’ because I realized I wasn’t doing the film because it terrified me. You can’t make decisions based on fear.
-Chris Evans
For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot, I took classes. At 18, I told myself if I don’t live in the woods by myself by the time I’m 25, I have failed.
-Chris Evans
I love having a shaved head. I’d rather not deal with hair if I don’t have to. I like not thinking about it. A shaved head and letting my beard go requires the least amount of anything.
-Chris Evans
I hung out with the jocks. It doesn’t mean I necessarily was one. I was just kind of there.
-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!
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
There are plenty of Australians working for major firms overseas and they want to make sure they keep their Australian tax base intact, in the sense of being up-to-date with the latest that’s happening.
-Chris Evans
When I found out I had to take off my shirt in Teen movie, I panicked and hit the gym. I was like, “It’s going to be on film, documented, for my children to see. I can’t be 140 pounds. I need to put on a little bit of muscle.
-Chris Evans
The Internet is a big place where a lot of people can voice their opinions, and my mother chooses to pick fights with random people from all over the world who don’t have the nicest things to say about me.
-Chris Evans
I can’t see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I’m contractually obligated to do.
-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
I used to be in love with Sandra Bullock when I was growing up. Sandy B. was my girl. I remember seeing Speed when I was in seventh grade and just thinking, ‘That’s her.’
-Chris Evans
Lost luggage is just an opportunity to start afresh.
-Chris Evans
I am just enjoying my youth but I want to settle down eventually.
-Chris Evans
Every guy I know has some sort of freak injury in their body.
-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.
-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
What if I couldn’t handle people’s opinions of me? I know that shouldn’t dictate a person’s degree of peace or happiness in life, but the problem is, I chose a business saturated in judgment.
-Chris Evans
When you do one movie at a time, if one goes crazy and becomes successful, your life changes. But you can step back and catch your bre
-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
Look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn’t always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for me.
-Chris Evans
I like girls who aren’t so la-di-da. L.A. is so la-di-da.
-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
He doesn’t have demons. He’s not Batman, he doesn’t struggle with inner turmoil. The nature of this character is that he puts himself last and helps the common good. So he could easily slip into a world of boredom, The blessing and curse of Captain America is that he doesn’t have that fancy an ability. He doesn’t live in another world, or turn green. He doesn’t have bells and whistles, he doesn’t shoot missiles. He punches and kicks.
-Chris Evans
Dressing a baby is like putting an octopus into a string bag, making sure none of the arms hang out.
-Chris Evans
I don’t know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.
-Chris Evans
I can’t believe I was almost too chicken to play Captain America.
-Chris Evans
But my happiness in this world – my level of peace – is never going to be dictated by acting.
-Chris Evans
I didn’t realize – you think you are doing a movie but then you realize it’s a Columbia Pictures movie so it’s probably going to have some publicity. Then you see a billboard and it’s like, ‘God! I’m on a billboard!’ It doesn’t hit all at once, it kind of unravels itself and it’s still unraveling.
-Chris Evans
Are you kidding me? It’s insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age. It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.
-Chris Evans
The comic book world is so dangerous, you know what I mean? You say one thing and people – they’re ravenous – they are very opinionated fans. But they’re great fans.
-Chris Evans
should be able to make up their own minds about what they view.
-Chris Evans
My 20s was a time for self-exploration and, okay, a little self-indulgence.
-Chris Evans
My family is certainly very vocal. They’re very Italian. A lot of our holidays end with people screaming at each other across the room. And everyone’s very opinionated and intelligent. A lot of my aunts and uncles are wildly educated, and their opinions reflect that. We’re all very liberal.
-Chris Evans
One thing really impressed me about Peekskill. They obviously have very quick feet and are fast. But their hand quickness is incredible. We’ve never seen anything like that.
-Chris Evans
I am sure every movie I’ve made, even as an actor, had multiple test screenings. And I am sure there have been horrible things written about me. But I never have to see them!
-Chris Evans
I always wanted to see why Captain America was on this team of Avengers. He’s got to have a reason – he can’t just be really fast and punch really hard.
-Chris Evans
I’m a pretty decent tap dancer. I enjoy all types of dancing, actually.
-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 love acting. It’s my playground, it let’s me explore. But my happiness in this world – my level of peace – is never going to be dictated by acting.
-Chris Evans
I have a pretty fast metabolism, so I don’t really have to worry about getting pudgy. What I try to do when I’m working out is taking in a lot of heavy protein – clean chicken, clean meats.
-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
If I read the right script, if that script needs $5 million, if that script needs $50 million, I don’t care. If I read a project that’s beautiful, that I really want to make, whatever it needs, it needs.
