There is a story that you have to tell within a certain amount of time, and you can only show so much of the character. So as much as the script is born from the source material, there are certain limitations.

People say, Age is just a number. A lot of times it's not just a number. It's actually a real and true sign of someone's maturity. But in this case, she's fantastic.

The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.

Playing an icon [superman], you don't try to be an icon because that defeats the purpose. The responsibility attached is enormous, and the realization that it actually really, really matters meant that I wanted to put the most amount of work into representing the character properly.

My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.

Certainly, for younger guys, Superman is this mythological character that they've thought about and explored in their imaginations... But one thing I really like about Superman fans is that they're so open-minded and excited and honest. There's something beautiful about their enjoyment of it - something very Superman-like.

My mother is such an incredibly strong woman. She raised a family of five boys extremely well. She made us all strong, loving, caring people. We all support each other. I'm really thankful to her.

I'm from a family of six men, so I'm bound to be physical.

I know I can't make everyone happy, but I know I can do the most justice I can possibly do to a character, or any character, if I put my all into it. That's the choice you have to make.

The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.
Henry Cavill
Image
I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.

Image
I wouldn't necessarily be star-struck. I haven't been yet. But I don't know what happens in the future - maybe one day I will be. You never know.

I didn't see a lot of comic books growing up.

I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.
Henry Cavill
Image
I remember going, I'm really excited about this - I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity. But if something doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.

If I'm talking to someone and they're feeling a certain way, I will definitely tie into that very quickly. You have to learn to read emotions and feelings when you grow up in a family with four brothers - especially if three of them are a lot bigger than you.

I work out two, two and a half hours a day.
