Still Me (1999); also quoted at the Christopher Reeve Foundation http://www.christopherreeve.org/site/c.geIMLPOpGjF/b.1097025/k.6FF5/Christopher_and_Dana_Reeve.htm
Context: 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. They are the real heroes, and so are the families and friends who have stood by them.
“Often it's precisely the poison that you have in your blood, generated by disgusting individuals that gives usthe strength to persevere, to move on and, above all, the strength for offer the best part of ourselves, exclusively to those who deserve it.”
Original: Spesso è proprio il veleno che si ha nel sangue, generato da individui disgustosi a darci la forza di perseverare, di andare avanti e, soprattutto, la forza di offrire la parte migliore di noi stessi, esclusivamente a chi lo merita.
