A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.

When the first Superman movie came out, I gave dozens of interviews to promote it. The most frequent question was: What is a hero? My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences. Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.

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.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible

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.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. As a result, I am ready to take up again the characters who are closer to what I really am.
