As an actor, I'll play anything.

I'm the audience's representative on earth.

When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.

You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.

About Superman and Batman: the former is how America views itself, the latter, darker character is how the rest of the world views America.

I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked.
