Quotes
[edit]- I really liked the, uh, the art in the Deadpool comics. You know, I've just kind of always felt a kinship towards him. I mean, I just thought, "I'd like to play that guy some day."
- Interview for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, included as part of the ending montage in Deadpool & Wolverine
- I’ve definitely lost all cool. I'm the dad guy now, She’s saying ‘Mama.' What my wife doesn’t realize is [James] calls me ‘Mama,’ too. Seriously. I literally had to sit her down and tell her that penises don’t work that way. She understands -- she gets it.
About a month ago, I was sitting in traffic and I was just jamming to 'These Dreams' by Heart, I was killin' it in the car and there was this busload of high school kids that were parked right beside me. I didn't even realize it. I looked over and every one of their jaws were just on the ground laughing their guts out at me. These little high school pricks, you can shove your Nae Nae song up your asses! Twenty years, that’ll be the Nae Nae song, you watch. - There are rules. Very specific rules. You would diminish stakes in the film if everyone—or even anyone else—was also aware of the fourth wall or any kind of meta aspect. Deadpool is the only character who has that ability to do that. If everyone did that, then you would no longer invest in that character as much. You really want to believe that the villain is a villain. You really want to believe that your costar's character is true as well. Deadpool can undermine that—and does undermine that—because you don’t want the audience to take him as seriously.
