"In a sense, Superman is a stranger in a strange land, a solitary man with incredible powers, trying to fit into his adopted planet. He has warmth and a great sense of humor. There's nothing self-conscious about him."
-Christopher Reeve
"With Hamlet all we really know is that he dresses in black tights, talks to skulls a lot and gets depressed. But everyone has his precise idea of Superman. He's been around for forty years."
-Christopher Reeve, 1978
"When I was training for SUPERMAN, I told my driver to take me to the gym even if I said I wanted to go home. Once I was there, there was nothing to do but change into my workout clothes and start lifting weights."
-Christopher Reeve, Still Me
