Christopher Reeve
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
In the second half of the 20th century, people are becoming more limited: Vocabularies are smaller, thoughts are smaller, aspirations are smaller, everything is very scaled down. Everyone is typecast.
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
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
There is no such thing as can't.
Christopher Reeve
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
Christopher Reeve
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
