We must find our duties in what comes to us, not in what might have been.
The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.
Live in the world you inhabit. Look upon things as they are. Take them as you find them. Make the best of them. Turn them to your advantage.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
What on earth can you do on this earth but catch at whatever comes near you, with both your fingers, until your fingers are broken?
It's being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of your opportunities.
I'm like a Depression-era person as far as acting goes. It's sort of like, grab it while you can and make the most of what's in front of you. The first 'Avengers' opened up a host of things that I've been struggling to get made for a long period of time.
I come from a sense of struggle, a sense of using the instruments that were given to me to manipulate the environment in which I found myself, and joined up with those who are equally as skillful at manipulating that environment, as was I.
I am accustomed to making the most out of my opportunities.
Luck is something you find, or you go for it.
I ended up with my life slanted toward television, and I just accept that. I think you play the hand the way it's dealt, that's all.
All I can do is make the best of what I am, become accustomed to it, evaluate the possibilities, and take advantage of them the best I can.
