I think any woman who is curvy and who wears a gown to an event is suddenly super-sexualised. I mean, at the time I was 18, 19. I was young. I’ve always been curvy. It runs in the family. Throw on an evening frock and suddenly you have boobs and everyone is like: bombshell! Instantly it was: ‘the new Marilyn Monroe’.

“I’m so used to going, going, going all the time, I don’t take the time to take it in because I’m constantly moving on to what’s next. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tried to become much better at stopping and appreciating. I’m the one who tells my friends that a lot of wonderful things are going on. I should really do that more for myself.”

“My daughter just told me she wanted a Black Widow costume for Halloween. I was like, ‘This is interesting.’ That or a peacock, she said. It’ll be strange, but if she wants it, I guess I’ll get it. She knows that I’m a superhero, or that I play a superhero, or that that’s one of my jobs. I don’t know if she thinks it’s real or not, I’m not sure. She gets excited when she sees me on the Cheerios box.”

S: The first day of work on Avengers we worked together and we were both terrible.

M: It was bad.

S: And then you turned out to be really good and I realized that you were actually just trying to sabotage me, and I think this time you were trying to do it again. I know how you work Ruffalo.

M: But it totally back fired on me this time. I’m really bad in this one and you’re really great.
