That's another reason I did Daredevil: I didn't get killed off in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My life has been being a daredevil. I am Evel Knievel. I am a daredevil.
I don't know if I'm a daredevil, exactly, but I do enjoy a good challenge. It's the only way you grow.
I used to be such a daredevil but now I'm much more cautious.
I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean, he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite, but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic.
I have always been more comfortable with daredevil acts than with the everyday nuances of life. Let me jump out of a plane, speak in front of a roomful of strangers, even trek across Siberia.
At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing.
When I was auditioning, I didn't know it was 'Daredevil.' Everything was secret. They're secret agents. They wouldn't give you any clues. I was a big fan of the show, and I think it helped me, once I got the part, to really understand the world that they live in. It helped me during shooting.
I love Daredevil. I thought it was enjoyable. Okay? There were critical issues with it, and that's why I wear black, some people wear red - we are entitled to our opinions.
I don't want to portray myself as a daredevil. I'm not at all.
I'm not a daredevil. I don't fly without a safety net.
