Quotes By Chris Evans

I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They're not the girls you would assume.

I didn't realize - you think you are doing a movie but then you realize it's a Columbia Pictures movie so it's probably going to have some publicity. Then you see a billboard and it's like, 'God! I'm on a billboard!' It doesn't hit all at once, it kind of unravels itself and it's still unraveling.
