Quotes
I don’t think I resemble a superhero at all, really. I don’t think people would really imagine me to be a superhero. I certainly don’t have the physique for it, and I’m not tall enough, etc.
Charlie Cox
I was at a school in England, a prep school, from the ages of 8 and 13. And every play they did was a musical. Parents love musicals. And I don’t sing. It was driving me crazy. ‘We’re doing ‘Macbeth.’ ‘Yes!’ ‘The musical!’ And I was always in the chorus, because of course, in all the main parts, you had to be able to sing.

Of all the London theatres, the Donmar is the dream.

Daredevil was known as ‘The Man Without Fear,’ and I just thought, ‘Well, I don’t think that’s very interesting.’ I don’t think it’s very interesting to watch someone who’s incapable of feeling fear. It also removes from the palate my favorite character attribute, which is courage. If you’re not afraid, you can’t exercise courage.
Charlie Cox
I really fell into drama school – I had a lot of lot of luck. I didn’t take criticism very well while I was there; in fact, I took it personally. With every note I got, I felt like they were telling me I was a bad person.
