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.

My mother and father have also raised five boys so they know there's only so much that can be controlled.

If I spend all my time being upset about having lost a job, then the next however many auditions I have are going to be useless.

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

Whether someone else would have played Superman better or worse would be up for a lot of debate on the internet forums, I'm sure.

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.

I didn't see a lot of comic books growing up.
