It Is Important To Get Different Roles And To Be Seen In A Different Light. I Am An Actor. To Go Too Far One Way What Does That Do To The Character Of Superman? All These Things Are Thoughts In My Head, But I'm An Artist First And Foremost, I Guess, So There Are Great Things Out There. I've Read Some Awesome Things And If There's Nothing There That I Like I Can Always Create Something.

But So Long As We Can Keep This Crew Of Fantastic People Together And Can Continue To Make Real Breakthrough Films In This Category, As Well As Characters That Stay True To What We've Done In This First Film, I'd Be More Than Happy To Be A Part Of It.

One Of The Most Amazing Things I Got From The Film, So Much Green Screen, There Are So Many Moments And It Really Taught Me About How Important It Is To Have An Intention When Flying, When Going Somewhere And Having An Intention.

It Was Important To Have A Similar Energy In My Performance. To Make The Character Too Different Would Have Just Been About My Ego Because It Didn't Need To Be Drastically Different.

I'm Kind Of Looking For Something With A Lot Less Action And More Talking And Listening.

And The Spirit Of Superman Is Great To Have Around.

I Was At First But I Mean I Thought At First That I Wanted A Little Bit Of That In There But The Reasoning Behind What They Cut And What They Kept Really Makes Sense And It Really Played For Me When I Saw It Yesterday, It All Worked And Was Understood.

There's A Great Legacy Before Me. Many, Many Fantastic Actors, Artists, Writers Have Come Before Me And Created Superman. I'm Very Honored To Be Able To Be A Part Of It.

Really It's All About What's Inside The Superman Suit. How You Feel About Yourself When You Put That On Because It's Very Revealing And Very Imposing If Worn With Confidence, I Suppose. The First Time I Wore It, I Didn't Have That As Much. I Hadn't Really Trained Any, Yet. I Hadn't Read The Script, I Hadn't Really Worked On The Character At That Point. And I Was Standing Around With A Room Full Of Costume Designers And Everybody Was Judging Me Right Away And Going, "don't Make Your Judgment On It, If This Is Superman Quite Yet Or Not," Because I Hadn't Done All The Work That I Would Later Do.

I Think Superman's Journey Is To Become Comfortable On Earth. Of Course He's Got His Role As Earth's Greatest Protector But He Also Wants To Be As Happy As He Can And If That Happens To Be With Lois Then He's Going To Find A Way.

There Are Things About Growing Up In A Small Town That You Can't Necessarily Quantify.

So I Think It Was To Bryan's Credit That He Was Able To Let Go Of Some Of Those Things Because You Create These Scenes And You Think You Become Creative, Even I, Acting Things, You Become Very Creatively Taken By It.

Well No, I Think We Won't Have That Problem But As Far As Paparazzi I'm Speaking, I Will Deal With That.

Well I'm Superman, Just Not Action. I'm Kind Of Looking For Something With A Lot Less Action And More Talking And Listening. I Also Have A Film That's Premiering Vegas Film Festival, Short Film, Directed By Joel Kelly, It's Called Denial And It's A Story, Short Film, 35 Mm Short Film And It's About A Man's Struggle To Choose Between The Woman Of His Dreams And His Reality, So It's Definitely Different Than Superman. So I'm Really Proud Of That.

It Was A Great Mantel To Be Able To Take On Really, An Amazing Legacy. And You Know To Finally See It, Because I Just Saw The Final Product Yesterday As Well, Is Really Amazing To Be Part Of Something Like This.

That's Definitely A Part Of Who Superman Is And Definitely Who Clark On The Farm Is. It Translates To How Calm He Is. I Feel Like I'm Pretty Calm Most Of The Time And Relaxed, Which Gives Presence To The Character.

I Am, Of Comics I Was Never As Big Of A Fan As I Probably Could Have Been I Suppose But I'm Definitely A Fan Of Science Fiction Fantasy. My Interests Were In Fantasy More Than Comics Growing Up.

Superman Is There To Unite Us All, I Think. I'm Proud Of Bryan For Respecting That And Not Making It Just About Us.

I'm Really Excited To Be A Part Of It And Sharing The Legacy, Any Documentary I Look Up At The Sky And Kevin Burns Did And Bryan Did And Showed Me Again You Know The History That's In This Character And You Know.

And Also It Was A Process Of, We Lifted Weights As Well, In An Effort To Train My Body To Then Be Able To Lift Heavier Weights When I Got In Australia. So That Was The First Couple Of Months.

As I Said Before, I'm Prepared To Be Prepared And I Think That Remains The Same, You Know There's No Way To Really Know What It's Going To Feel Like. I Think For Each Individual It's Different.

I've Found The Best Way Is To Not Be Scared Of The Attention But To Be Grateful For It And Open To It. It Makes My Days Better Rather Than Being Annoyed That People Want My Attention.

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.

Christopher Reeve Did Such An Amazing Job That To Give Him Some Kind Of Accent Or More Bravado Would Have Been Wrong. Audiences Wouldn't Have Responded To That Either.

I Knew Very Early On That There Would Be Quite A Bit Of Attention: Superman Is Known All Over The Place.

I'm Very Excited To See Where The Characters And Their Relationships Go. But In The End, It Really Boils Down To The People Who Have More Power Than Me, Who Control The Money.

Well Physically Preparing For The Role, Definitely And Then Continuing To Stay Physically Fit Throughout Filming, Getting Up, 4.00 4.30 In The Morning.

To Go Too Much Another Way, For The Sake Of My Ego In Wanting To Create Something... In The Situation Of Superman Is Just Wrong. Especially Since We're Continuing, In A Sense, That Story. The Characters Have To Feel Somewhat Similar. What Are You Going To Do With Superman? The World, And All The People That Have Created It, Created Him And Have All Kind Of Come Together To Make This Image. Everybody Kind Of Has The Same Idea Of What It Should Be. So For Me To Go, "okay, No, I Think He Should Have A Southern Accent." Or Something Crazy, Just Doesn't Make Any Sense.
