He was tough on us.” – Chris Pratt

What you want is instant results when you’re out of shape.” – Chris Pratt

- “It’s a thing when it becomes three peoples’ job to mop sweat off of you. The hair person, the makeup person, an assistant. When their primary job becomes stopping you from sweating?

- “My favorite animal to hunt is probably elk. There’s nothing like the sound of a bugling bull splitting the cold air at first light. And that smell is unmistakable. Once you experience their musk in the wild there’s no going back! A close second would be a varmint hunt.” – Chris Pratt

All three of these characters are guys who probably have their best days behind them.” – Chris Pratt
