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

I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.
Christopher Reeve

To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.
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.

When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
Christopher Reeve
Image
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.
Christopher Reeve
Image
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.

There is no such thing as can't.
