I don't think Americans look bad in spandex.

If there is some sort of trouble at home, kids don't think that James Bond is going to come save their mum from their dad, or their dad from their mum. They don't think, "Bond is going to come and save me." Superman is a different sort of idealized figure.

I often find during a day of shooting I will speak in an American accent all day long when I'm doing dialogue. At the end of the day, it often takes an effort when I'm talking to my fiancee to bring my English back just because you're so used to speaking that way.

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

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

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

As much as everyone says that Superman is good, a lot of other people might say that that's why they find him boring A lot of Batman fans might say that.
