In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people you feel better about yourself.

I'm pretty upfront about my love and admiration for the military. One of the perks of making movies is that you get to sort of follow your own passions and I believe quite passionately that we don't pay enough attention and respect to our veterans. Not just our wounded veterans but all veterans.

What I'd say about that is that we must respect homosexuals in the church. I've got many homosexual friends the issue is not in any way a homophobic reaction on my part.

My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

I always used to say to my wife the thing that I loved most about us is that we are a team we are impenetrable in that respect.

We tried to approach this as though there's never been a Superman movie before but at the same time respecting the canon and mythology. There are the pillars that you have to respect and I'm not about to break them. But it is fun for me to bend them and mess with them.

I did private study for about a month five days a week six hours a day. I came to understand the character in ways that I never would've previous to that. I was so innocent in respect to ways of creating characters.

If you respect the art and you have some talent about you I'm on your team.

I would love to have dinner with Jay-Z and Beyonce. I think we would have a lot to chat about. I like them both so much and I love them as a couple. I like that they are both at the top of their game - and that they have a mutual respect and admiration for each other.

To be frank I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.
