[On providing the voice of Superman]: "Initially, I thought, 'Oh, this is a fun little job doing a little cartoon.' I didn't realize the grave responsibility that was bestowed upon me." "I've found that the majority of my work is just a series of grunting, groaning and straining noises. Because, you know, Superman is forever getting clobbered with force fields, nuclear weapons, trains -- whatever large, blunt, heavy objects are at hand to clobber him. I have to dig deep for those special noises." "When Superman comes along with his red cape and his blue outfit, it works on such a primary level. Here's this guy who wears no mask. He's very positive. He tries to help everybody as much as he can. I think readers and especially children gravitate to that. They know they can trust this guy." [On Superman's animated appearance]: "I look great as Superman. I am so buff."
