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

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.

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

The greatest memories a person might have in their life is, childhood. It's really a painful nostalgia.

When grace has won the day, the worldling seeks the world to come.

War takes so many more casualties than just the dead.

It will happen and I will be right there in the moment so don't wait me!

Every dog has its day but it's not every dog that knows when he's having it.

I don't like greed, I don't like ignorance. I really don't like anger. But I love love.

As an actor, I feel that my work makes me very vulnerable. I have to be emotionally available to serve the scene I'm doing. You never quite know where your emotions will take you.

I'm not a prettier everywoman. I am an everywoman that they clean up awfully well for T.V.

is this fragile love/ a way/ to say/ goodbye

...a metaphor that works in one society may seem preposterous in another.
