Quotes

To me, from the beginning, this show has always been about Clark before Superman. And for me, flying then brings you into the realm of Superman.

[on Smallville (2001)'s "Homecoming" episode] It was a real exciting episode for us to shoot because it's a turning point, and I think from this episode on, the show is going to be very different from what it's been in the past.

[on Supergirl (2015)] I do enjoy it. It's got a different angle, a more comedic angle, of course. It's telling the story in a different way, and I don't think it's a world that I ever existed in with Clark because ["Supergirl" and Smallville (2001) are] two different shows. There's really nothing in common, there are no parallels at all. I say that being a fan of what they're doing. I think they're doing a great job.
