There's a great legacy before me. Many, many fantastic actors, artists, writers have come before me and created Superman. I'm very honored to be able to be a part of it.

Well no, I think we won't have that problem but as far as paparazzi I'm speaking, I will deal with that.

I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was.

Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.

I've found the best way is to not be scared of the attention but to be grateful for it and open to it. It makes my days better rather than being annoyed that people want my attention.

I'm very excited to see where the characters and their relationships go. But in the end, it really boils down to the people who have more power than me, who control the money.

Well physically preparing for the role, definitely and then continuing to stay physically fit throughout filming, getting up, 4.00 4.30 in the morning.

There are things about growing up in a small town that you can't necessarily quantify.

It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn't need to be drastically different.

I knew very early on that there would be quite a bit of attention: Superman is known all over the place.

To feel completely alone and isolated leads to mental disintegration just as physical starvation leads to death.

Some people make tunes, but it is lines that run like moving messages through my head. Whatever else I am saying and doing often has no bearing on this inner, verbal life.

Eruptions of talent continue to happen in Haiti, in spite of everything.

I am one of the people who love the why of things.

Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately.

Argument need not be heated; it can be punctuated with courteous smiles - or sympathetic tears.

In Christian terms, evangelization and humanization are not alternatives. Nor are the vertical dimension of faith and the horizontal dimension of love for ones neighbor and political change.

You can no longer save your family, tribe or nation. You can only save the whole world.

I think often times if a guitar riff is centered around the chorus or if it follows the chorus, then it often times turns into the actual hook.

If you're a Brit you kinda get used to people being cold and aloof and just generally arrogant - particularly musicians. (Compared to Londoners New Yorkers are a walk in the park!)
