Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
I do like Superman as a character, and I have followed him throughout the years.
Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day old man, next day little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they are not here to fight are battles, but to whisper from a hearth. Reminding that it's us. . . it's everyone of us who holds the power of the worlds we create.
I understand the rules of Superman - not necessarily better than anyone else - but better than a normal filmmaker would.

I've never been good at the money thing. I have had a couple of really nice but inept managers, and a business accountant that ripped me off. But I cannot totally blame my money making lameness on them.
I was 17 when I left the small Maine town where I'd grown up. I wanted to do something I thought was important with my life, so I headed to California and didn't look back.
I really owe everything to my parents and their devotion and drive to see to it that their children had the education which led to the opportunities that they never were able to have.
