Christopher Reeve
The key to success is letting the relationships in your life grow to the highest levels they possibly can . . . not putting yourself first in life and remembering that the more you give away, the more you have.
Christopher Reeve
I don't think actors are to blame for poor writing. The culture changes first, and the theater follows it. In the case of the movies, it's the same thing.
Christopher Reeve
Living a life with meaning means spreading the word. Even if you can't move, you can have a powerful effect with what you say.
Christopher Reeve
The character is a piece of fiction. You are yourself, however, and that makes you interesting, because you're alive and you're a human being.
Christopher Reeve
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
