I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Many take the roles home with them and live the part. I'm quite happy to leave mine at the studio and return home as I left: simple old Roger Moore.
I think the more experience I have working on films, the more I can shed that character rather than carrying around that heavy weight.
The main reason I did 'Captain America' was because I wanted to get out of my own head and stop taking my work so seriously.
I never really like the characters I play. I only come to love them afterwards.
When I see myself on screen, I don't even feel like it's me - it's like it's a completely different person.
I did eight months of training for 'Wimbledon,' and then, by the time I finished the movie another four months later, I was like, 'That's me. I'm done with tennis.'
I've played a lot of bad guys, and I'm pretty good at leaving my work at the office. And I look at acting as having a certain sort of therapeutic nature to it.
I don't take the roles home with me. I don't work that way. I don't understand that; I mean, I really don't when I hear that.
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.
I'm able to hang up the character with the costume at the end of the movie.
When I emerge from filming I feel slightly out of synch with real life, but it's also a relief.
You hear stories of intense actors who can't shed their character and who don't know who they are for a week or two after. I'm not that guy, man.
