"I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every sum..." — Christopher Reeve

We have a government that, generally speaking, does not respond to the people.

It never occurred to me that I was a leading man until I was 19 years old. I had been acting since I was 10, so that's nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too.

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

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