I really love this quote explaining Christopher Reeve’s take  on what Superman is all about. Although Chris never really considered himself a super guy, he was so wise.

“What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that`s how I approached the part.”
