More quotes by Christopher Reeve
I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.
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
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

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
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
I remember telling a neurosurgeon, Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset.
Christopher Reeve
You learn the stuff of your life (sports, movies, traveling) ... that's not the essence of your existence, my relationships were always good. Now they have transcended (rise beyond).
Christopher Reeve
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
I'm starting a new chapter in my [[life], and you have no idea how much that means.
Christopher Reeve
Once you choose hope, anything's possible
Christopher Reeve
America is better when all of us take care of all of us.
