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

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.

I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks... lying that I knew how to drive a truck... and doing commercials and documentaries.

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.
