I never said I will stand, I said I hoped to stand. It wasn't a prediction.

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.

I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

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

You should have a dream and absolutely go for it. Don't let anybody say you can't do it.

We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate... Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realising our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. As a result, I am ready to take up again the characters who are closer to what I really am.
