And the spirit of Superman is great to have around.
- Brandon Routh Quote

As I said before, I'm prepared to be prepared and I think that remains the same, you know there's no way to really know what it's going to feel like. I think for each individual it's different.
- Brandon Routh Quote

But so long as we can keep this crew of fantastic people together and can continue to make real breakthrough films in this category, as well as characters that stay true to what we've done in this first film, I'd be more than happy to be a part of it.

Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I am, of comics I was never as big of a fan as I probably could have been I suppose but I'm definitely a fan of science fiction fantasy. My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up. 
- Brandon Routh Quote (Dark Horizon, June 2006)

I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I knew very early on that there would be quite a bit of attention: Superman is known all over the place.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I think Superman's journey is to become comfortable on earth. Of course he's got his role as earth's greatest protector but he also wants to be as happy as he can and if that happens to be with Lois then he's going to find a way.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I was at first but I mean I thought at first that I wanted a little bit of that in there but the reasoning behind what they cut and what they kept really makes sense and it really played for me when I saw it yesterday, it all worked and was understood.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I'm very excited to see where the characters and their relationships go. But in the end, it really boils down to the people who have more power than me, who control the money.
- Brandon Routh Quote

I've found the best way is to not be scared of the attention but to be grateful for it and open to it. It makes my days better rather than being annoyed that people want my attention.
- Brandon Routh Quote

It was a great mantel to be able to take on really, an amazing legacy. And you know to finally see it, because I just saw the final product yesterday as well, is really amazing to be part of something like this.
- Brandon Routh Quote

It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn't need to be drastically different.
- Brandon Routh Quote

One of the most amazing things I got from the film, so much green screen, there are so many moments and it really taught me about how important it is to have an intention when flying, when going somewhere and having an intention.
- Brandon Routh Quote

So I think it was to Bryan's credit that he was able to let go of some of those things because you create these scenes and you think you become creative, even I, acting things, you become very creatively taken by it.
- Brandon Routh Quote

Superman is there to unite us all, I think. I'm proud of Bryan for respecting that and not making it just about us. 
- Brandon Routh Quote (BBC Movies)

That's definitely a part of who Superman is and definitely who Clark on the farm is. It translates to how calm he is. I feel like I'm pretty calm most of the time and relaxed, which gives presence to the character.
- Brandon Routh Quote

There are things about growing up in a small town that you can't necessarily quantify.
- Brandon Routh Quote

Well no, I think we won't have that problem but as far as paparazzi I'm speaking, I will deal with that.
- Brandon Routh Quote

Well I'm Superman, just not action. I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. I also have a film that's premiering Vegas Film Festival, short film, directed by Joel Kelly, it's called Denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than Superman. So I'm really proud of that. 
- Brandon Routh Quote (Dark Horizon, June 2006)

Well physically preparing for the role, definitely and then continuing to stay physically fit throughout filming, getting up, 4.00 4.30 in the morning.
