I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.

I'm a serious geek. I mean I seriously want to own a unicorn when I'm older . . . or a Pegasus . . . yeah Pegasus sounds better.

I remember going, "I'm really excited about this - I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity." But if something doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.

I'm a giant softy, for sure, but I honestly think these days it's probably considered more masculine to be emotionally connected.

My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.

With Superman, there are certain limitations for an actor. You can't go past certain boundaries because then you cease to be what the character is.

There are these fantasies among people who watch movies where they're like, "Oh, there's a chemistry between them - something going on." And sometimes there is. But for me, it's more like, I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.
