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.

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

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

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

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