There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it but it was a great piece of art.

While I will always have the utmost respect for the superhuman out-of-bounds freestyle and extreme stunts that seem to continually progress beyond our imaginable limits my highest appreciation goes out to the simple rider who's out there just for the experience.

There is a certain kind of respect for authenticity today that there wasn't back in the days when they did 'Cleopatra ' where everything looked like a giant motel. People want to have it be authentic in the look and authentic in the way people behave.

Stand-up don't get no respect - it's the hardest thing to do in show business. You don't have no band and there's no music.

I don't wilt easily and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.

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.

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

I have enormous respect for Steve Johnson and as I've told him Feed was one of the inspirations for Salon. They were up there before we were. And also for Joey and the Suck people.

Walt had a marvelous intuition. And because he understood people very well liked them and had great respect for people there was nothing cynical about Walt.
