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.

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

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 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.

I never said I will stand, I said I hoped to stand. It wasn't a prediction.

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.

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.
