I've Seen High And Lows. When Things

Clearly, There's A Real Onus On You To Do Something Correctly When Everybody, At Least In The United States, Had A Really Clear, Specific Idea Of What This Guy Looked Like - And Even More So, What He Looked Like As Clark Kent And As Superman. You Have This Whole Vast Audience Of People Who Would Be Acutely Aware Of Any Deviation Whatsoever And Probably Holding You To A Slightly Higher Standard As A Result.

One Of The Differences Between Now And Then Is That The Idea Of Body Image Is A Much Bigger Issue Now. Back Then, Just Being Kind Of Heavy And Barrel-chested Passed For Heroic. Now, You Wouldn't Dare To Play A Hero Without A Lot Of Dieting And Various Specialised Abdomen Machines. But That Was One Of The Things Which Was Interesting About It And I Did Want To Portray Because There's Good And Bad.

I Simply Asked If I Could Have A Go At Adapting A Screenplay. But I Did Not Want Any Money, In Case I Failed Because I Did Not Want A Script Out There With My Name On It That Might Be Completely Dysfunctional.

To Answer The Question, Though: I Didn't Always Want To Direct. I Just Liked The Idea Of It. If A Friend Was Making A Short And Needed Someone Who Knew Screen Direction, I Would Jump In. It Would Be Horrible, But It Led To A Short, Then Another, And Another. It Was Like Student Films.

I'm Not The Type Of Guy Who Enjoys One-night Stands. It Leaves Me Feeling Very Empty And Cynical. It's Not Even Fun Sexually. I Need To Feel Something For The Woman And Entertain The Vain Hope That It May Lead To A Relationship.
