I like the hot-cold the sugar-salt being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.

It's funny when you're a kid how you can acclimate to almost anything.

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.
