I can’t help teasing people. That’s the way that I am, and I hope that nobody takes it too personally. – Tim Daly
It’s not like I walk around being Superman in real life. But when you read the script and put yourself in the position that Superman is in – I mean, he’s always saving the planet, for God’s sake. When you realize that, it’s not difficult to take the gravitas of the situation and make your voice do what it needs to do. – Tim Daly
We sort of have given up on the idea of taking any sort of personal responsibility for what we see. I don’t understand it at all. There are many things that I won’t let my kids watch. – Tim Daly
There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor and an OK celebrity. – Tim Daly
Well, I’ve seen a bunch of acupuncturists and one of my sister-in-laws is an herbalist. So I know a lot about alternative medicine. I don’t know a lot about the practice but I know about the world. – Tim Daly
‘Superman’ was a total accident. The producers of the animated series were having a hard time finding someone to read the character. I was brought in through a connection and, I think, out of desperation. – Tim Daly
It’s ironic, really, because I’ve spent the bulk of my career making my living in a very commercial realm: network television. And yet, my sensibilities don’t necessarily line up with how I pay my rent. – Tim Daly
What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age. I had my kids while I was in utero. – Tim Daly
I’m probably my own harshest critic. If I get a hundred good reviews and one really bad one, it’s that one out of a hundred that I remember. I think we actors are hard on ourselves, and I don’t know why that is. – Tim Daly
I could have been a rich kid who stayed in college and got by on the path of least resistance, but I got much more out of being in the world and pulling my own weight. – Tim Daly
I’ve had – I don’t really know how to describe them, except moments of ‘extrasensory perception’ of some sort. I’ve also had sort of a ‘white light’ moment. – Tim Daly
I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being, and that moment was the day my son Sam was born. – Tim Daly
What I’ve realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I’m just, I don’t think, a star. I’m an actor. – Tim Daly
I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by. – Tim Daly
I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car. – Tim Daly
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, ‘We didn’t recognize you.’ – Tim Daly
I didn’t dream of being in television or film. But then I got married pretty young and had children, and I wanted to feed the children, so I worked a lot of film and television. – Tim Daly
I am a member of the human race. There’s a certain irony about the cyberworld. You don’t know who is talking to you, if it’s a machine, so I tend to try to reach out to those fellow humans. – Tim Daly
I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that’s a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults. – Tim Daly
I love babies – I love being with them. As for acting with them, it’s kind of hard because they don’t know how to act. – Tim Daly
Well, I have a farm in Vermont that’s my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors – just so you don’t get the wrong idea that I’m too girlie! – Tim Daly
‘Wings’ was a blessing, but it was also very difficult. Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution – and we had a great cast and great writers – but the format is somewhat limited. – Tim Daly
I have a beautiful wooden Superman statue with a removable cape – I really love that piece. – Tim Daly
For people like me, who have blocked out a chunk of their past, you wonder – if you open that door, if you walk into that room of your memories, what will happen? Will it destroy you or will it make you stronger? – Tim Daly
I never had the desire to get in front of the camera. It never occurred to me! I always thought I’d be a theater actor. – Tim Daly
