Alter Ego Quotes

The rest of August passes with Xerox monotony, each day a photocopy of the one before as I wait until my first gig.

Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.
- Quentin Tarantino
