If you've got nothing else, passion will get you through.

Certainly, for younger guys, Superman is this mythological character that they've thought about and explored in their imaginations... But one thing I really like about Superman fans is that they're so open-minded and excited and honest. There's something beautiful about their enjoyment of it - something very Superman-like.

As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt. . . . For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.

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

No matter what era we're in, we need hope.

I liked "Superman/Batman: The Search for Kryptonite" because I really enjoyed the interaction between those two characters.

If you're a good actor, then you channel enough of yourself into the character so that you do get that other thing.
