Image
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
Christopher Reeve
Image
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
Image
What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.
Christopher Reeve
Image
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve
Image
A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.
Christopher Reeve
Image
I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
Christopher Reeve
Image
When I first began acting, I assumed an intellectual responsibility attached to my profession, which I had accepted for a long time. My father taught me that an actor had to have a social and political conscience, and that the work that he does has to reflect from that.
Christopher Reeve
Image
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
Image
I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.
Christopher Reeve
Image
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
Christopher Reeve
Image
Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone... You can find a new lease on life - more meaning than you thought possible in simple things... Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward.
Christopher Reeve
Image
I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter.
