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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening.

Somehow the past is a safe place to explore our collective cultural neuroses.

Amongst it all my soul craved one thing, Love, for it was the beginning and end of anything that will ever truly matter.

I'm loyal, and I like my friends. Friendship enriches your life and makes it more interesting.

I'm not tall enough to be a model, but I wish I was 6-foot, because I love it. It's kind of artsy, and I'm artsy. And I love clothes.

Crimes of which a people is ashamed constitute its real history. The same is true of man.

I created a tone for network television that they hadn't really been seen before. And I have to admit that was really more of an accident. I was just writing the way I write.

My big concern is me and what do I do now until the time of my death. That is valid. That is useful. That is beautiful. That is creative.

I believe only a free society can ever be truly secure. The goal should be to make terrorists feel threatened, not the American people.

The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.

There are no secrets about England - they are searching for positives.
