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

Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

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.

All of us want to be Superman when we grow up, fighting for truth and justice. That's part of what drives me as a writer.

What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.

Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

I want people to know me through the movies I do. I want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, that's when your career goes away.
