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

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

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

I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

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.
