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

People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It's always been a great trip.

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.

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.

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

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