Henry Cavill's quotes

I suppose that when I'm building a character, it's usually related to what their family is like and who their parents are, as well as how I grew up - that nurture side.
Entering the acting world, it's a very lonely life. You all get so close, and then you promise to e-mail and text each other, but you never do. So that idea of being a sort of lone traveler I can definitely associate with.
[on whether his abs were digitally enhanced in Man of Steel (2013)] Oh that's 100 per cent me, believe me. And I am not afraid of saying it because I went through hell to get them.
[on being asked whether he looks like Superman] When my hair is longer, I wouldn't say as much. But yeah, I guess there's a certain resemblance.
[on why he maintains his buff physique even when not filming Superman] If I'm walking around an unhealthy mess, it might damage people's idea of what Superman is. So there is a responsibility.
[on the rewards of working out constantly] There is a reward. As much as it hurts and painful as you are going through it, when you wake up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror, you go "Okay! This is why I am doing it. That makes sense."
[on himself being impressed with how he looked on screen] I have shrunk down to a more normal size now. You should have seen me then. I was considerably bigger. There are a couple of shots of me that I think, "My goodness. I was definitely a large chap."
[on shaving his chest for Immortals] It is extremely excruciating but I gotta say waxing has its advantages in that you end up looking more defined.
[on feeling worried about his shirtless scenes] You are sitting there going, "I haven't done enough, I haven't done enough! I need to do more. I am not lean enough. I am not big enough."
[on wanting to be a leading man in Hollywood] I want to be one of those names that producers want to hire because you put bums on seats.
[on what he has to give up while keeping in shape for Superman] Guinness is what I crave, but it is not ideal for six pack abs.
[on how he plans to succeed in Hollywood] There are people who are better looking than I am and people who are better actors than I am. I just have to beat them to the chase.
[on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)] It's my favorite movie so far.
[on who is cooler between Napoleon Solo and Superman] Napolean Solo is cooler. As far you rate someone by just interacting with them, Napolean would be far more enjoyable to interact with.
[on the prospect of using Tinder] Superman can hardly go on Tinder, can he? Actually it would probably be a lot easier...
[on the effect Superman has had on his love life] When you meet girls, you almost have to prove yourself doubly as a man because they think, "Oh, he's probably a dick." I need to get better at approaching women. But boo-hoo, it's not that bad!
[on whether he would ever consider losing his physique for a role] I'd prefer not to, to be honest.
[on how is he different from Napoleon Solo] I'm not quite as much of a rogue as Solo.
[on being a fan of Outlander and Sam Heughan] Outlander I thought was absolutely spectacular. It's so good I watched it from beginning to end in almost one night. I couldn't stop. Jamie is a Scottish Superman, for sure!
[on his biggest fashion faux-pas] I wore a terracotta double breasted suit recently in Rome, and people had a love-hate relationship with that jacket, but if I like it, then fuck everyone else.
[on competing at training and physical appearance with co-star Ben Affleck] We were training with different people, so there was no direct comparison. But there's always going to be competition between two men if they want to be superheroes.
[on putting his muscular Superman physique into suits for The Man from U.N.C.L.E.] I definitely had a bit of a problem with the suits. I don't normally keep a suit-blessed shape so the tailors had some struggles but it worked out in the end.
[his dating top for young men like himself] Stop looking to get laid, and look for someone who can make you the better version of you. That's going to make you happier, more than just getting laid will.
Travel's great as long as you're going first class. I mean, travelling to New Zealand in economy, it sucks. Especially if you're over six feet. But first class? I'm not going to ever pretend to be coy about that. I love it.
[on attaining CGI level of muscularity for his role as Geralt in The Witcher] I enjoy the physical challenge. I'm lucky enough to have the genetics that result in quick changes. I can get really quite big if I set my mind to it.
[on injecting his masculinity into his film roles] When you know that there's going to be masculinity in a role, it's fun to play that. I am from a family of six men. It's great and I relish the opportunity to play more roles with masculinity in them.
[on living up to the sexual prowess that women expect him to have as the man who is Superman] Well, I do my best. Keep in mind, I do my best. But yeah. Even Superman gets cramp sometimes.
[on how to give a powerful war speech in a movie to inspire the audience] Get eight-pack abs! But no, be passionate about it. Get lost in it. If people are going to follow you into battle, they've got to believe that you are committed.
I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you've already admitted defeat.
As an outside; don't worry about failure, because failure will take care of itself. Focus on success.
No matter what era we're in, we need hope.
My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.
I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.
