Tom Welling

“I do not want to be a celebrity, I want to be an actor.”

“I'm not a comic book guy. I'm not a fan of comics. I'm a fan of movies.”

“For me, it's always about the story. I'm not a person who's wanting to be in a starring role. I'm just wanting to be a part of a good story.”

“It was never about me putting on the suit. It was about Clark Kent becoming Superman.”

“I was a construction worker for a period of time. I was a bartender. I was a milkman.”

“I don't think I would have been able to be on 'Smallville' for 10 years if I hadn't been able to direct.”

“I was never a big fan of the tights. I'm not a big fan of the cape.”

“I'm a very private person, and I don't do a lot of publicity.”

“I feel like I've grown up a lot on this show. It's been a decade of my life.”

“Directing is something I want to do more of. I find it very fulfilling.”

“I'm not the biggest fan of the gym. I'd rather be outside.”

“I'm not looking for fame. I'm just trying to make a living and do good work.”

“The great thing about 'Smallville' is that it's a show that has a built-in fan base.”
