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

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

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

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?

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.

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