''It's been a long road making movies. I had a period where I was busing tables on the Lower East Side. Now I'm here, getting to make a movie called Captain America and share it with audiences all over the world. It's something I'm just really, really grateful for.''
''Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don't think the term 'America' should be one of those representations.''
