I'm not interested in superheroes. What about normal people doing extraordinary things?
Classical heroes are usually much larger than life. They're not quite human beings. They're somehow larger than human scale.
Extreme heroism springs from something that no scientific theory can fully explain; it's an illogical impulse that flies in the face of biology, psychology, actuarial statistics, and basic common sense.
Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.
My dad was not a footballer. He wasn't anything remotely what the average person would say was a role model - but in my eyes he was Superman.
I don't really like heroes who always behave heroically. That's not interesting to me.
I like to play characters that have an inner confidence about them that maybe you wouldn't expect them to have and that they aren't afraid to unleash occasionally.
Women have a faith in themselves that is unpragmatic and in each other that's just emotional and f - ing strong. Both of those characters are criticized for being weak, for being subject to a man, but I think that that's a really bold and natural thing that we all want.
Ah! Those strange people who have the courage to be unhappy! Are they unhappy, by the way?
