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.

I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

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.

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.

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

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