Clark Kent, I suppose, had a little bit of Harold Lloyd in him.

In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.

I did all the work at the beginning up until the point where I couldn't handle the increasingly heavy art production burden alone. I needed, and got, assistance.

I was mild-mannered, wore glasses, was very shy with women.

I think initially we wanted to use the first letter of the character's name. We thought S was perfect.

He was mostly leaping tall buildings in the beginning. There were cases where he would leap off a tall building or swoop down, and at that point he would look like he was flying, I suppose. It was just natural to draw him like that.

Not only that, but when I first met Joe, to my intense delight, he showed me that he was a collector. He was collecting some of the early Tarzan pages by Hal Foster, and, later, early Flash Gordons; and I found that we were both absolutely interested in the same type of thing.

Jerry and I always felt that the character was enjoying himself. He was having fun: he wasn't taking himself seriously. It was always a lark for him, as you can see in my early drawings.

Clark Kent, I suppose, had a little bit of Harold Lloyd in him.

In the beginning, we had a great deal of freedom, and Jerry wrote completely out of his imagination - very, very freely. We even had no editorial supervision to speak of, because they were in such a rush to get the thing in before deadline. But later on we were restricted.

Jerry picked up the technique of visualizing the story as a movie scenario; and whenever he gave me a script, I would see it as a screenplay. That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up.

Before I ever put anything on paper, Jerry and I would talk back and forth.

I drew a picture on the back of a calendar in pencil. In those days they used to give out free calendars, I had no art paper, so I took whatever else I could.

Jerry often says that Slam Bradley was really the forerunner of Superman, because we turned it out with no restrictions, complete freedom to do what we wanted; the only problem was that we had a deadline.

Those early sketches looked too cartoony; I really wanted to do detailed drawings - I was taking anatomy classes - but unfortunately I wasn't able to do it because of the time element.

And I agreed the feeling of action as he was flying or jumping or leaping - a flowing cape would give it movement. It really helped, and it was very easy to draw.

I had to produce a complete page - or two or three - in one day. I took a lot of pride in my work, and I hated to do a mediocre job. Evidently, some of the writers enjoyed my work best of all for that very reason.

Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done.

I came from Canada when I was about 10 years old, and our family settled in Cleveland, Ohio.

I did Hilary Duff's 'With Love' music video-slash-fragrance ad.

I know people who enjoy having 10 people running around and doing things for them. I don't. I feel awkward in such situations. It gives you a false sense of importance.

Fashion is my passion, and I respect the creativity that you find in its different levels.

I've spent over 25 years in the television industry, the direct response industry. I met a lot of people and certainly learned the power of commercials and their brand building potential.

All is ephemeral fame and the famous as well.

Politics is the art of the possible; creativity is the art of the impossible.

I don't want to be known as a politician.

Many of my friends were blacklisted. America should be ashamed of it forever.

The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think thats whats happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

The reality is that asking the public to fund political campaigns accomplishes nothing. Candidates continue to seek interest-group support through other channels, both financial and in-kind, and corruption problems abound.

I don't want to hear about my death.

In fact, there's a lot to legitimately hate about pro sports and the way they are conducted.

When I was heavy, people would say to me - and it was such a backhanded compliment - they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable.'

Truth is I don't think God on a daily basis. I think politics, science.

When I buy cookies I eat just four and throw the rest away. But first I spray them with Raid so I wont dig them out of the garbage later. Be careful though because that Raid really doesnt taste that bad.

I'm three quarters Scottish, but I sound English. I don't really see British as a race.

There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with. Love shouldn't be one of them. Anything less than extraordinary is a waste of my time.

President Bush will come here and there will be new 'friends' of America to open a new relationship with the world, new economic fortunes for those who 'liberated' them.

I want to come back and do talk. I want to do late-night talk the right way. Arsenio ain't there anymore, and the late-night talk competition is weak. All them dudes is weak. I don't even know who they are. Weirdos, and I don't even care. I want to bring real fun back to late night where a real comedian is doing it.

I've always been interested in the intersection between our rational and our unconscious lives.

Standup comedy is inordinately difficult. If doing something else for a living will make you equally happy, choose that instead. I'm serious. Comedy is punishing.

Movies cater to what the audiences want.

If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.

The Catholic Church did not always teach that life begins at conception.
