00:08Why did you go that direction and what did you really want to convey in that human kindness for Clark and that importance?

00:13I wanted to show Superman in an intimate way. I wanted to believe Superman.

00:41what his relationship with Lois is like, what his beliefs are, what his strengths are, what his flaws are.
