If people recognize me when I'm out in public, I'm very nice to them. I'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. I don't even mind if people come up to me while I'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while I'm having sex, I refuse to sign autographs.

I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.

I'm like a fireman. When I go out on a call, I want to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in a dumpster.

You have to have the darkness for the dawn to come.

The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.

I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing.

No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it.
