My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.

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

The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.

I suppose that when I'm building a character, it's usually related to what their family is like and who their parents are, as well as how I grew up - that nurture side.

Superman isn't moody or brooding or aggressive.

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

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