More quotes by 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
There is no such thing as can't.
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
Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
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.

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
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
Nothing of any consequence happens unless people get behind an idea. It begins with an individual and they share the idea with more individuals-and eventually it becomes a movement.
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
I'm starting a new chapter in my [[life], and you have no idea how much that means.
Christopher Reeve
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
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
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
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
Don't put a limit on what can be accomplished.
Christopher Reeve
I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
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
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
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.
