Richard Donner Convince Quotations

I had to physically convince the audience that he could fly but, just as important, I had to convince the audience that that man who was playing that role could fly. And I could not believe that Redford or Newman or any of those well-known actors in that role, in blue leotards and a red cape, flying.

How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?
