Amongst the qualities a hero should have, I would include determination, loyalty, courage, perseverance, patience, focus, intrepidity and selflessness. – Ricky Martin
‘Frida’ was a joy; this was delicious, I couldn’t wait every day to get to the set, although I was exhausted, and have my leg get cut off or lose the baby or be in her shoes and get to play my hero and be able to go places emotionally. You know, we live for parts like this. This is a dream for an actor. – Salma Hayek
‘Nowhere Man’ embodies one of my favorite themes – the hero completely out of his element. It’s really near and dear to my heart. – Ruth Glick
I can play ‘Guitar Hero,’ most of the songs on Medium and some of the songs on Hard. No Expert. – Ryan Hansen
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it. – Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
I did ‘Animal House’ in 1978, then ‘Local Hero’ in 1983, and then in ’88, ‘Crossing Delancey.’ And I realized that every three to five years, you need a big role to put you into the national psyche. – Peter Riegert
My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him. – Shakira
At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the commission. But if the mechanics don’t service that car well, the customer won’t return. – Roger Staubach
Barbara Castle was a hero to millions of British women. She inspired a new generation of women to become active in Labour politics, including, of course Labour’s deputy leader, Harriet Harman. – Patricia Hewitt
That was one of the things that interested me about the character. He doesn’t want to be a hero, and has no real desire to save the earth or discover aliens. He’s sniffing around looking to see what will fall in his lap. – Orlando Jones
Legolas is that kind of action elf who pouts a bit, stares off to the distance, and has a couple hero moments, killing with a lethal bow and arrow along the way. – Orlando Bloom
A lot of crime fiction writing is also lazy. Personality is supposed to be shown by the protagonist’s taste in music, or we’re told that the hero looks like the young Cary Grant. Film is the medium these writers are looking for. – Peter Temple
One blob of red in the wrong place and the audience isn’t looking at the hero, they’re looking at a patch of curtain (or something similar) and your whole effect is lost. – Terence Fisher
Whether it’s as the hero of an adventure story, as teacher and friend, as icon on watch, shirt or hat – everyone knows Mickey Mouse. – Warren Spector
In the game of cricket, a hero is a person who respects the game and does not corrupt the game. The one who doesn’t or corrupts the game, they are the villain. They should be punished, and they have been punished in the past. – Virat Kohli
I’m interested in female friendships and family relationships. So I don’t write the traditional romance, where you just have the hero and the heroine’s love story. I like intertwining relationships. – Susan Elizabeth Phillips
I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black… and I love a good sword fight. – Simon Sinek
I still don’t understand why the tag of ‘action hero’ follows me. My films have all these elements – romance, action and comedy. None of the fight sequences of my character is an act of randomness. There’s a reason to action in my films. – Sunny Deol
‘Aladdin’ was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie. ‘Aladdin’ was an amazing adventure and the lead character was a hero for guys, which I loved. It wasn’t a princess or a girl beating the odds; it was a street rat. That seemed really cool to me. – Zachary Levi
A lot of actors would tell you that they’d rather play the villain than the hero. When you’re the character, there are no repercussions. So there is a kind of liberating feeling about saying certain things to certain people – and I think that it’s always quite satisfying to do that. – Tom Ellis
Flannery O’Connor is my creative hero. I think she’s the greatest American writer. Her book, ‘Mystery and Manners,’ is my creative bible. – Scott Derrickson
