Life is too short to be on a diet.
To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.

You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I’m there now.
In ‘Thor,’ that was my own hair. I grew it out. But I have naturally curly, blonde hair, so I’ll never look like that.

That straight man character is a short trip between comedy and drama in a project, so I can play the comedic beat on the same page as a dramatic beat.
