QUOTES
-I was a little nervous meeting him [John Schneider]. Growing up, I'd seen him on TV, and I think I had the General Lee car to play with when I was a child. When I met him, he was such a great guy; he's so warm and just a nice person. Our relationship works great onscreen, too, because we had an immediate connection.
-When I have children someday I'm going to be able to show them I was part of this great icon. It's a great feeling.
-You throw yourself out there and you've got to figure some things out on your own. You've got a million people telling you different things, but you really have to find the truth in yourself.
-You know one of the things about going from modeling to acting is it's so much more fulfilling. With modeling, you get your picture taken, which is great, good for you, you know? But in acting, you're able to reach in and show a little bit more of yourself.
-Well, I can't have my fingernails clipped or filed, I just don't like it. So when they get long, I'll bite them and spit them out.
-There are many more shades of Tom Welling than just Clark Kent.
-Acting is much better than modeling. It's less about the surface and more about what you can actually do. Besides, I wasn't a very good model, I didn't get that much work!
-I wasn't the most popular kid in school but I wasn't an outcast. I played sports all the way through high school and was average. I was never hung up as a scarecrow and I could never flip cars or anything like that, but not too many others could do that either!
-I couldn't believe it when they told me I got it. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, but somehow I knew I wanted to be that guy who saves the day.
-I've realized that I have to make the best of what I've got, and I don't forget for a second that this is a beautiful opportunity that may never happen again.
-In one scene, there's havoc at the breakfast table and eggs go flying everywhere - I ended up completely covered. I haven't eaten them since.
-I remember a time when I was young when my dad was still much bigger than me, I don't remember exactly when. What happened was, I got in trouble for what I did and I remember looking up at my dad and him being REALLY big.
-Do I want twelve kids? Sure - but I don't have to give birth! I'm only responsible for the fun part. When the time comes for the first one, we'll go from there.
-There were so many rumours out there, and it's the kind of situation where if you speak about it you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I'd rather be damned if I don't.
-It seems the pool is empty as far as directors go, I guess, and so they're bringing me in. It will be [my first directing gig. I'm very excited. At this point, I'm only doing one. I think they're waiting to see maybe what it turns out to be.
-The idea of me directing is a lot bigger than just me. I'm in 93.4% of every episode, so in order for me to get ready to direct the episode, I have to not be in the episode before or after it. Or at least be in them in very small amounts. So there's a lot of preparation which starts now, and it's months away.
-When you're committing to a film it's not as easy as, "Wow, this sounds interesting." I'm on set nine, ten months out of the year as it is. And so the amount of time I'm not on ‘SMALLVILLE’ becomes much more important to me.
-I once jumped off cliffs on the coast of Italy, 50 feet into the water. I'm adventurous, I love pushing the limits and doing things like that.
-The idea of a perfect vacation is not working or not having to work and having no appointments
-We were being interviewed, and they were asking Christopher about Superman, and what he would do, and Christopher was saying, 'Shush; he's not supposed to hear this yet! He doesn't know who this Superman is. Don't tell him.'
-What gives me the most satisfaction is watching the pilot, because we've come along so far-myself included. That always puts a smile on my face, because at the time I was really figuring it all out at once, but now we've all grown up a little bit: the production, myself, the scripts, the storylines. Everything! For me it's very entertaining to watch Clark.
-I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong
-When you ask a woman a question, you want to hear what she really thinks about something, not necessarily what she thinks you want to hear
-Supernatural and Smallville actually shoot a block away from each other, and I'm really good friends with Jensen and Jared. Last season, at one point, I actually got off a little bit earlier than they did, and I went down to their set. They weren't there yet, and I knew some of the people on set, because they had worked on Smallville, so I jumped in the backseat of their car, and if you've seen the show, you know they're always driving their car and they're pullin' in to places and getting out of their car. So, I get in the backseat, and they were in a big hurry because they were late getting to set – very unprofessional – and they jumped in the car very quickly 'cause the crew was yelling 'We're already rolling, go, go, go.' And just as they jumped in, I reached over, and I grabbed Jensen, and I pulled him into the backseat, and he didn't know what was going on. He thought it was his stunt double, so he started hittin' me, so I started hittin' him back. And then when he realized who it was, they said 'Action,' so he jumps in the front seat, we tear down this alley, he pulls into this bar and all three of us jumped out, and we all walked into this bar, and as we walked in, the door closed and we heard 'Um ... cut?' They didn't know what was goin' on. So, I made an appearance on Supernatural. I believe I was edited out.
