Man, he spoke so well. No non-sense, straight to the point with humble eloquence. Love the fact that he doesn't dodge any of the interviewer's questions, and answers them readily. Such a different feel compared to mainstream interview shows today.

I was born in 2002. Christopher Reeve will always be the one true Kal-El/Superman, as well as Clark Kent. Maybe one day if things can come together, and people (Warner Brothers) gets their things together and stop trying to modernize and change Superman, then there will be a Superman that has the same sense of realism, charisma, joy and power that we felt when seeing this wonderful man as the Man of Steel. We still believe a man can fly!
