We posted some Henry Cavill Interview Quotes before, but here is another collection of his geekiest quotes! Meet the super geek behind Superman, Geralt of Rivia, Sherlock Holmes, and more: ❤️
“I was playing World of Warcraft at the time and I had my priorities straight. It was an important part of a particular dungeon that I was going through. I looked across at the last moment and I saw Zack Snyder’s name on the phone, so I grabbed the phone and then I missed it. I called him back immediately and said, ‘I’m really sorry, I was saving someone’s life.'”
“That’s a complex question and it will probably take all 6 minutes of this interview. *Rants about the Death of Superman comic for 1 minute* *Rants about the Return of Superman comic for 1 minute* *Rants about the Red Sun comic for 1 minute* *Rants about the Superman/Batman the Search for Kryptonite comic for 1 minute*”
“Um, I mean, I’ve shared my Warhammer hobby. I’ve shared my computer building hobby. Does it get any nerdier? I mean, I read fantasy books. I’m not too sure how much deeper down that rabbit hole I can go before there’s no return.”
“I understand what you’re saying but, when it comes to fans, it is a fan’s right to have whatever opinion they want to have. And people are gonna be upset because, especially when you’re talking about books or games, because you’re never going to be the exact person they had in their head. Or who they played on Witcher 3, for example. I don’t necessarily consider that toxic, I just consider that passion.”
“Telling fantasy stories the thing I love to do. I’m the crazy loyalist who’s all about the details and probably frustrating the bejesus out of everyone by saying “Yeah but what about this…” “And what about this bit, but he can do this!” and everyone’s going “hey just do the thing, Henry, just do the thing”. I’m like “okay fine I’ll do the thing, but you do realize he can do this”. I enjoy that aspect of the storytelling, I enjoy getting into it, I enjoy being the person who’s always about the details.”
“What is the geekiest thing you have in your house?”
“My Warhammer stuff. I love it. It’s part of my escapism.”
“Tell me you have swords at home.”
“I do. The thing is, it is quite tempting for anyone who sees them to start swinging them around. And I just end up with all sorts of broken shit in the house.”
“I’m effusive of being loyal to the source material, let’s put it that way.”
“When I was playing the games I chose Yennefer. It’s just, there was love there. The way the games went. The story with Triss was powerful and something different but the story with Yennefer is where Geralt’s heart lay I believe.”
“Okay, and when you paint Warhammer miniatures, what do you do then, Henry?”
“Then you put them together in little armies that you fight against someone else’s army.”
“WIKIPEDIA?! You’re using Wikipedia as your source of information?”
“What are your go-to fantasy or sci-fi book recommendations?”
“Anything by Raymond E. Feist. Anything by David Gemmel. Anything by Brandon Sanderson. And obviously Robert Jordan.”
“I think with season two of The Witcher, my focus mainly lay with making sure that Geralt of Rivia from the books was really shining through in my performance in the show. In season one, there was a deliberate choice of mind to be less verbose, because I didn’t have the luxury of the show being dedicated purely to Geralt. So you don’t have that swathes of nuanced and complex dialogue, which you have in the books. And so I thought, okay, how do I reflect Geralt’s intelligence and his wisdom? And I figured out if I actually do the man who listens more and watches more then it might represent the character a little better.”
And here is Henry talking about his American Akita dog named Kal:
“His name is just Kal. Not Kal-El. His name would be in theory, Kal Cavill, rather then Kal-El. And he’s my great companion. He’s saved my bacon just by being there for me, in the most increible ways. I’m very very lucky that Kal’s in my life.”
