In the second half of the 20th century, people are becoming more limited: Vocabularies are smaller, thoughts are smaller, aspirations are smaller, everything is very scaled down. Everyone is typecast.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.

The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.

I am optimistic. But I also know that, with time, I'm beginning to fight issues of aging as well as long-term paralysis.

Success is not about money and power. Real success is about relationships. There's no point in making $50 million a year if your teenager thinks you're a jerk and you spend no time with your wife.

People may never understand this - and perhaps I should give up caring whether they do or not - but the idea of me playing Superman is so far away from what I was brought up to aspire to.

If I can laugh, I can live.
