- I'm getting kind of tired using the queasy stomach routine so I can show up as Superman-- But it's just one of the things I have to do to keep my secret identity a secret! Besides, being Clark is one of the all-too-few times I get the chance to relax... It's like taking off my boots! And it's certainly the only time I get when people relate to me as an ordinary man! All I ever want is to simply do my job, but so many people think of me as a celebrity... Something I never intended.
