Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, `That`s for me.`

I have seen first-hand how Superman actually transforms people`s lives. I have seen children dying of brain tumors who wanted as their last request to be able to talk to me, and have gone to their graves with a peace brought on by knowing that their beli...
Christopher Reeve
People will like me, I think, because I do a good job in the film, but I also realize that the appeal isn`t just me. It`s the character. It`s the film. It`s what Superman stands for and brings to the table. Not just me.
Brandon Routh
[speaking about the reshoots of Superman II (1980) after changing directors] It was usually done whenever a set doubled or we had a problem with expensive actors being available. I remember we did many scenes from the Daily Planet, if not all of them, whi...
Christopher Reeve
On playing a character: "You can`t relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle. Real courage is knowing...
Timothy Dalton
[Talking about casting Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent in the new Superman film]: "I was always dead set on casting an unknown. Brandon embodied the character the best - his acting talent, physical presence and personality."
Bryan Singer
[Talking about casting Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent in the new Superman film]: "I was always dead set on casting an unknown. Brandon embodied the character the best - his acting talent, physical presence and personality."

[Talking to Conan O`Brien about the experience of living in Sydney while shooting Superman Returns (2006)] I love Sydney. I became really attached to the city while I was there. The atmosphere, culture and the people are just so amazing. I went for a crui...
Kate Bosworth
[Acknowledging Geoffrey Unsworth for developing the photography process that made the flying scenes in the original Superman film possible]: "If it hadn`t been for Geoffrey Unsworth, we wouldn`t have had a movie."
Richard Donner
[Talking about his work with a movement coach to capture Superman`s physical presence]: "We worked on posture. Spine straight, hips forward, neck in line - just a clean motion moving through the world. [On the bright side] I slouch less."
Brandon Routh
[About Superman`s costume for `Superman Returns`]: "I always had the general idea of the suit. With X-Men, although they had extraordinary powers, they also had physical weaknesses. The suits were for protection as well as costume. Superman is the Man of ...

Bryan Singer
Whenever I get dumped (by a girlfriend), I nail the door shut so that no one can come inside, get a towel and clip it around my neck so it`s like a Superman cape, take off my shoes so I can slide across the room, and...get a fake mic, like a celery stick ...
Henry Rollins
Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Faster than a speeding bullet ... more powerful than a locomotive ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... yes, these are some of Chuck Norris` warm-up exercises." I`ve got a bulletin for you, folks. I am no superma...
Chuck Norris
[when asked what comic books he likes] I`m a Marvel guy. Superman was my favorite at first when I was a young kid. But even as a kid, after seeing him lift a planet one issue, race around the world in a half a second the next, then get beat by the Toy Man...
Kevin Grevioux
[Talking about wearing the Superman costume]: "Very confining. But once you get past that - which is sometimes hard - it`s also very empowering. First time I put it on, I felt... stronger. Like a different level of who I am. It makes playing the character...
Brandon Routh
When asked what character from literature he would like to play: "Well, if we can expand the definition of literature to include comic books, I`d definitely love a crack at "General Zod" from "Superman". So I`m hoping that Bryan Singer makes a sequel to t...
Wentworth Miller
[On the changes that will follow her life and career after being cast as "Lois Lane" in Superman Returns (2006)]: I`m ready for this. I`m just glad my `breakout` wasn`t a gigantic film. I feel solid in myself now.
Kate Bosworth
[Jerry Siegel`] and [Joe Shuster] created a piece of American mythology. It was my privilege to be the onscreen custodian of the character in the `70s and `80s. There will be many interpretations of Superman, but the original character created by two teen...

[When asked if he`s ready for the changes that will follow in his life upon being cast as Superman]: "I have no idea. But I am prepared to be prepared."
Brandon Routh

Brandon Routh
It was exciting, but for a while being typecast as Lois made my vanity and narcissism scream. Hadn`t people seen my other work? But now my grandkids watch it, and think I was Superman`s friend, so that`s a thrill.
Margot Kidder
I`ve found that the majority of my work is just a series of grunting, groaning and straining noises. Because, you know, Superman is forever getting clobbered with force fields, nuclear weapons, trains -- whatever large, blunt, heavy objects are at hand to...
