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

If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn't progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world.

People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It's always been a great trip.

Superman was never previewed because the producers didn't trust Warners with the film.

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

It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes.

It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don't they do something about it? They've done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don't we just re-release this thing?
