Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak. . . he's unsure of himself. . . he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.
Despite the fact that I have a good-size pair of breasts. . . in Lois & Clark, I have the opportunity to show the world they're not my only attribute.
For me, Superman's greatest contribution has never been the superhero part: it's the Clark Kent part - the idea that any of us, in all our ordinariness, can change the world.
I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe and find my own Clark Gable.
There is a large body of abolitionists in Clinton and Clark Counties in this state, and in Wayne County Indiana, that would undoubtedly support such a store, but whether their support would be sufficient, I am unable to say.
What's happening is the language. Not only in the usual sense of being interesting (which it is), but in the new sense that words are events, as real and important in themselves as wars and lovers. . . It is to the word, then, that the mind moves, and the word responds by taking on a physicality, even a sensuality, we have all been trained to ignore. Words have weight, and the distance between two can be a chasm filled with forces of association. . . What Clark is doing is genuinely new.
Clark Kent, I suppose, had a little bit of Harold Lloyd in him.
Then there was Clark Ashton Smith, who wrote for Weird Tales and who had a wild imagination. He wasn't a very talented writer, but his imagination was wonderful.
[Victoria Clark] is one of those people who has the rarest combination of gifts. I can put her in any classical play tomorrow because she such an extraordinary actress.
Dick Clark was a really great influence in my career; he helped me a lot with his whole organization, and they were awesome to me at all different points - but one thing that I really disagreed with him on was when he said that what I do, pop music, is a disposable art form.
The only person to look out for me is me. I've got to make sure Corey Clark is all right.
realized that at a level I'd never been conscious we'd been engaged in a game of wits for years. I suppose most writer-subject pairings are like that. Of course, I'd set aside my plan to write about him [Clark Rockfeller] as soon as I'd gotten to know him some, but now I'd resumed that intention.
Sometimes, Clark, you are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning.
The negative cost of Lewis and Clark entering the Garden of Eden is that later expeditions regardless of what they were intended to do, later expeditions did not deal with the native peoples with the intelligence with the almost kindly resolve that Lewis and Clark did.
. . you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition.
We had a great many horses, of which we gave Lewis and Clark what they needed, and they gave us guns and tobacco in return.
I liked the fact that Lois was one person with Clark and another with Superman. I think that, as women, we do that a lot when we fall in love.
Clark Gable was the first to have called me a mermaid.
You're not the ugly one. Levi Grinned. You're just the Clark Kent. . . . . . Will you warn me when you take off your glasses?
