I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times.
I want to be a superhero. Maybe I'll be a bartending superhero who shakes martinis to save the world.
I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully.
I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.
Here's the miracle: I grew up thinking, 'Wouldn't it be great to write 'Superman' someday? Wouldn't it be great to create my own show, or work on 'Lensman,' or 'Forbidden Planet?' Those were very literally the goals I set for myself, the dreams that I thought I didn't have a chance in hell of ever actually achieving. But it's happened.
When I got the job with 'Superman,' it felt like somebody threw me into the ocean. I was just trying to figure it out, to figure out how to tread water. Lucky for me, I'm part of a great team.
Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
I didn't want to go to college - I was bored by junior high. So I was in church one day, staring at the stained glass windows and thinking about things, when suddenly I decided that if I could start selling cartoons to magazines, they'd let me quit high school.
I could never dream of being cool.
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.
