“They fired director Richard Donner because they didn't want to pay him, and he's the reason the franchise became so successful in the first place. There's a big part of Superman II that he did that no one has ever seen.”

“I was briefly bitter.”

“Horrifying as it was to crack up in the public eye, it made me look at myself and fix it. People were exploitative; that's human nature.”

“It was obvious what kind of game they were playing on the set of Amityville.”

“I was in two episodes playing Christopher Reeve's character's emissary. They wanted to have my character announce Dr Swan's death, which I thought was exploitative.”

“I don't know who the actresses all are. I've never heard of Kate but I'm sure she'll do fine.”

“The thing about the wacky fans is that they're really sweet.”

“I think the little girl in Smallville is terrific, but I only watched it once.”

“Being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst.”

“I remember laughing an inordinate amount of time. Setting up scenes that involve ooze coming out basements, or pigs' heads flying through windows is really fun. How could you not laugh?”

“If you're gonna fall apart, do it in your own bedroom.”

“We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.”

“This is my year of the remake. Go for it, see what you can do, guys, why not?”

“Chris was a friend of mine, I loved him. I didn't see him for 18 months before he died, but I'd met him several times after the accident. What was remarkable was his personal growth in his interior life.”

“God, George Bush makes me want to slash my wrists. He's so embarrassing I have to leave the room when he's on the news. What a monkey.”

“I'm an old cynic.”

“With any group of people in life, sad things happen, and crazy things, and happy things. When you're in the public eye, it's just amplified, that's all.”

“They wanted Bridgette to be this extremely enigmatic character. Im about the least enigmatic person on the planet, so I just thought what I did on the show was boring.”

“Nothing spooky or terrible happened on set, but we were told to say it had. We were giving a press conference and the writers were going on about these terrible things that supposedly happened while we were filming.”

“It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.”
