I graduated from high school in '62 and I didn't know any people who were gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable.

One of the strongest things in the world is the father/son bond, and that's what they are drawing on. It also applies to the whole series because of Clark and that awkward adolescent period we all remember. Even the popular kid feels that and can relate. More and more adults are catching on and say, 'I watch the show and like it'.

It is difficult to determine the cause of grass fires. There is usually nothing left behind when we get there, like a cigarette or a gas can, for us to determine what started it.

Welding torches, cutting torches and any activity producing a flame outside is prohibited. Any open flame is discouraged.

I was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people!

I purchased a house a few years ago. I do not want to see a bar in that area. I don't think it's feasible. I have no objections to a restaurant or a coffee house. I think (a bar) is going to take away from my property and make my property values go down.

There are parts of me that I keep secret even from myself. I have demons and I'd love to be able to healthily look at the demons and still be a wonderful actor and not feel I need them to create.

We have responded to several grass fires in the last few weeks, but there have been no structure fires. For us, it has been considerably more than we normally run.

Now that I'm on TV, I can't gluttonize as much as I would like. Even the devil has to watch his weight.
