I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

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.

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.

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

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.
