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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.
