Really it's all about what's inside the superman suit. how you feel about yourself when you put that on because it's very revealing and very imposing if worn with confidence, i suppose. the first time i wore it, i didn't have that as much. i hadn't really trained any, yet. i hadn't read the script, i hadn't really worked on the character at that point. and i was standing around with a room full of costume designers and everybody was judging me right away and going, "don't make your judgment on it, if this is superman quite yet or not," because i hadn't done all the work that i would later do.
Character Judging Done
One of my big milestones came when i turned forty and promised myself to stop worrying about all the things i thought i might do but never really would. i was very relieved when i realized that you can actually complete a project by dropping it. that's how i "completed" learning to cook and learning german, becoming a good skier, and a list of other things too long to recite!
Long Worry Might
You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.
Love Mean Men
When you finish reading the book [today matters], take the daily dozen and list them in order of how well you do them. for example, the one that i would put at the highest for me is attitude or relationships because i'm really strong at both of those. at the bottom would be health. what i tell people is, "take one month and work on one of the daily dozen for a whole year." and so it's really a one-year personal growth plan.
Strong Attitude Book
When the u.s. asks for the extradition of a terrorist, if turkey doesn't have that individual on the terror list, what do we say, what do we respond? now, the individual might not be on your terror list or terrorist list. but if he is on my list, and if we have an agreement on the extradition of criminals, if i make the request, then, well, you should extradite that person. and there has been numerous examples of that mechanism working with many other nations as well, not just the u.s.
Turkeys Agreement Might
