Ideally you do want people to treat you professionally in return, but not everyone necessarily does that.

Some people thrive under pressure, but pressure can also ruin your performance, it can push you down angles which you don't want to go.

I just loved the coolness of [Sean] Connery's Bond. He just sort of oozes cool.

I found very interesting - trying to separate the different facets of Superman in that way. When you're aware of how people perceive you, you can't always remain true to yourself, and that was an interesting thing for me to apply to the character as well - exploring these different facets of his personality while having certain bits of it stripped away. The arrogance of a person who would have the kind of power that Superman does - we see that in The Return of Superman. Superman is not that character, but since he has all of those powers, he has that capacity for arrogance.

At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education.

I'm from a family of six men, so I'm bound to be physical.
