How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?

I'm open to comments. I'm open to objective points of view, because I've been very narrow and very subjective.

In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes.

It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.

If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn't progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world.

I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.

I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.

I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

School was a strange place where they tried to make you into something.

Heiresses are never jilted.

In the business world, the idea of positive thinking is absolutely entrenched.

I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul.

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

This is called synchronicity - a state in which you almost feel as if you are in a collaborative arrangement with fate.

It seems to me every one of us is doing something meaningful for this world.
