They don't really like change. But I think we'll be able to settle their concerns pretty quickly.

It's been very important for me to stick to the tone. I feel so reverential to the first two [movies], I'm not reinventing anything that's already been done.

Most actresses would have killed just to be an extra. I had to beg her to read the script first.

She's the most chameleon-like actress I've ever met. She's a shy person, until she wants to become something else.

I have chosen to withdraw as director of 'Superman.' The difficulty of casting the role of Superman has contributed to my decision. I appreciate the efforts of Warner Bros. and the entire production team during this process.

But it's also got a lot of humor. My attraction to it [the show] was that, not only was it smart and compelling, but it also had moments of humanity and humor. These characters are very colorful, and most of the best drama happens when there also is humor. So I think it's really smart that you're going to be able to laugh and maybe be scared for these characters, maybe even cry at some point.
