Everyone is egoic with certain parts of their life. We’re all very preoccupied with our own story. As we go through life and experience trauma, we build walls—defence mechanisms. And, eventually, you adopt them so deeply and they are activated on a daily basis. You start thinking that’s who you are. We are not our thoughts. We ought to realize that the things that go on in our brain is not our true identity. — Chris Evans on anxiety and depression
Every actor loves playing dress-up, losing yourself in a character, and having fun. Not to get too deep with Deadpool, but he filters all his pain through a prism of comedy and humor. I love that. I relate to that. I’ve done that since I was a little kid. I’m the youngest of four boys in my family so I was never gonna win anything with my fists. I had to win it with my mouth, and I think that’s essentially Deadpool as well. – Ryan Reynolds
