I Was Reading All These Books, Including The Bible - And I'm An Atheist.

Making Superman Was So Hard. We Were A Year Over Schedule. We Were There A Year And A Half, The First Time. And In A Year And A Half, You Go Through Everything You Go Through In A Life. So You Can't Really Go, "oh, It Must Have Been Fun To Work With Chris Reeve." In A Year And A Half, You Bonded Like A Family, So You Know Someone Far Too Well To Think Something As Simplistic As "oh, It's Just Fun." You Know Their Secrets. I Mean, It Was Everything. It Was Truly - It's A Cliché To Say We Were Family, But We Really Were.

I Remember When We Were Doing The Love Scene In Some Kind Of Hero, We Got In Bed Nervously. Then He Looked Up, And It Was Very Genuine, And He Went, " Richard Pryor's In Bed With Lois Lane!" And It Was So Cute!

I Got A Reputation For Being Sort Of Nuts And Difficult, Because I Was At That Point, So I Wasn't Much In Demand. And Also, On The Basic Level, I'd Made A Lot Of Movies That Didn't Make Money.

I Do Remember When I First Read The Script Of The 92 In The Shade. I Was In The House At Nicholas Beach, And That Gang Was Starting To Break Up, And I Read This Terribly Well-written Dialogue, Not Figuring Out That Films Are About Structure And The Thing Was Totally Unstructured, And I Thought, "who Is This Writer? God, He's Great."
