Or a creature...

Clark Kent: I've always tried to forget I was an alien.
Or a creature. (An alien creature? If so, why repeating himself?) I've always tried to
pretend I was human.

In sci-fi, I think we see an alien as very nearly human. A creature is much less a human. Clark, here, is emphasizing the less-than-human characteristic he posesses, not just his coming from a different planet.
