“You have an hour and a half or two hours - maybe two and a half hours ...” — Jon Favreau Quote

“You have an hour and a half or two hours - maybe two and a half hours - in a movie, and it has to be a self-contained three-act structure. It's like a rock and roll song. Certain things have to happen for it to be a toe-tapper and get people excited, leaving the theater.”

“I cooked a little bit in my first movie; I did a movie called 'Made.' For the little kid in the movie, I do a scene where I'm preparing a pasta puttanesca. I always loved watching that scene.”

“Once you buy into a television show, there doesn't have to be resolution from week to week. You can develop characters and storylines and react to the audience, so you get more of a serialized version of storytelling where you can go much deeper into each character. It's more like a novel.”

“I grew up being really insecure and dumped on, over-feeling certain things in a negative way. So I thought I had something to prove.”

“Marvel, I think, on purpose, they don't tell me certain things. Because they know I'll be like, 'So here's what's gonna happen.' But I do know I will be in 'Thor 3' and that Sif will have a very pivotal part in that movie.”

“I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.”
