You treat anyone normally, and they'll treat you normally back.

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.

Not every job is a good job.

Playing an icon [superman], you don't try to be an icon because that defeats the purpose. The responsibility attached is enormous, and the realization that it actually really, really matters meant that I wanted to put the most amount of work into representing the character properly.

I work out two, two and a half hours a day.

If there's one thing that we're very good at as humans, it's remembering the bad stuff. For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.

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