I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.

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

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.

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

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

I'm open to comments. I'm open to objective points of view, because I've been very narrow and very subjective.
