More quotes by Christopher Reeve
Once you choose hope, anything's possible
Christopher Reeve
When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Christopher Reeve
Maybe one way I am original is that at heart I really am a classical actor. I haven't had my chance yet in the commercial world to show that. Movies aren't really made about classical people so much any more.
Christopher Reeve
Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.
Christopher Reeve
There is no such thing as can't.
Christopher Reeve
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
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

Christopher Reeve
People may never understand this - and perhaps I should give up caring whether they do or not - but the idea of me playing Superman is so far away from what I was brought up to aspire to.
Christopher Reeve
Every scientist should remove the word 'impossible' from their lexicon.
Christopher Reeve
I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.
Christopher Reeve
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Christopher Reeve
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
Christopher Reeve
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve
I gradually stopped wondering, ‘What life do I have?' and began to consider, ‘What life can I build?
