In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.

I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.

When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work.

It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.

How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?

I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.

I was an actor... or, at least, I was trying to be an actor.
