Is this from Superman IV: The Quest for Peace?

I never saw that one (I heard it is the worst Christopher Reeve one)

I faintly recall some sitcom character or some stand-up comedian saying it.

👍 Reeve was very good at comedic acting. He was in the same class as Robin Williams at Julliard and they became friends. Mariel Hemingway was looking good!

Be yourself.

And the newest development: If being yourself doesn't appeal to you then be somebody else.

You can't be somebody else. Whatever you do you will always be yourself. You are yourself.

I remember that one! That was an annoying one. No, you can't be whoever you want to be. The only person you can ever be is yourself. By definition.

Uuuugh. The 80s. So glad they're gone.

You can even identify as a cat if you like and still insist on human rights.

"If you just keep working at it you will succeed".

No, some people never succeed no matter how hard they try.

"Just try your best!"

Umm I am trying my best and no one seems impressed!
