I've got a bulletin for you, folks. I am no superman. I realize that now, but I didn't always.

If I had to choose a superhero to be, I would pick Superman. He's everything that I'm not.

I don't think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

I am a big Batman fan, not so much a Superman fan.

I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.

I am, in fact, Superman. Every morning I wake up and go into a telephone booth and change my costume, and then go to work.

I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

I understand the rules of Superman - not necessarily better than anyone else - but better than a normal filmmaker would. After doing 'Watchmen' and digging that deep into the why of superheroes, when Superman is presented to you, I felt like I was in a unique position to say 'I get this guy. I know what this is.'

Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.

My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.
