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.

Getting the role like this is such awonderful opportunity... I remember looking in the mirror and going 'I'm superman'.

Finding the physical aspect is important to me because that is often how we read people in everyday life.

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.

To play Bond, though, and then for the world to perceive you in a certain way, is very different from playing Superman. Bond is not this ideal figure.

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