It doesn’t matter about money and fame and whatever. I really don’t care about that. My thing is, I’m happy that I’m able to have kids have a hero and have someone that they can look up to. – Atticus Shaffer
What really helps a guy to become an action hero today is the directing of the movie. All those fast cuts. – Jean-Claude Van Damme
I think of Superman as the ultimate vanilla hero. He’s this perfect refugee, this perfect immigrant from another planet who embodies the American dream. – Antje Traue
If a guy can play Guitar Hero with me and sit at home and watch the Food Network and read magazines with me, that’s good. I don’t think there are many guys that’s fun for. It’s a lot to ask. – Blake Lively
I really liked ‘Starter For Ten’ because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ and ‘The Breakfast Club’ and I’ve always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film. – James McAvoy
The bad guy in any good storytelling is always, in some weird way, a mirror for your hero’s journey and for the challenges that they are facing and is some weird physical externalization of that fear that the character is holding onto and has to overcome. – Alex Kurtzman
Charlotte Bronte was writing about sex. I supposed Jane Austen was, too. Where do you get a hero like Darcy unless you are writing about sex? – Alice Munro
I saw ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ because my brother was in it. It was a watershed experience. It was theatrical and scary, and New York functioned like a character. John Guare became a hero for me. – Adam Rapp
Mubarak came to power as a hero who fought bravely in Egypt’s wars and headed the nation’s air force. – Ahmed Zewail
That’s right; I was watching ‘From Russia With Love’, one of my favourite Bond movies, and suddenly thought that I’d love to see a version of this from Tatiana Romanova’s point of view. Or, better yet; what if she was the hero? What if this was her story, and Bond was just a side character? – Antony Johnston
This character feels so much like my brother. He has two children. He has a wife. He works with me. He chooses to stay in New Hampshire because he wants his kids to grow up in the school they started with. He doesn’t want them to lose friends. He is his family’s hero. – Adam Sandler
I think it’s always the moments that are the trials that end up making you become a hero in the end. You’re not a hero unless you’ve gone through the trials. And it makes these moments so much sweeter, so much better. I don’t believe in ‘deserved,’ but I might believe in ‘earned.’ – Brie Larson
Bruce Forsyth is my hero, and the thought that I’d be in a TV show with him was incredible. – Anton du Beke
I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in ‘Mad Max,’ and that was a very masculine kind of hero. – Colin Trevorrow
Films with female protagonists don’t attract many eyeballs. Most of them are perceived as feminist films. If Bollywood starts giving women major roles in entertaining movies, then the audience, too, will open up to the idea of watching commercial films in which the actresses do more than just play the role of the hero’s love interest. – Bipasha Basu
I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives. – Boris Becker

Oliver Sacks remains my hero to this day. He was one of the first medical writers I read. The other was Lewis Thomas, who is no longer alive but is just heroic to me. – Atul Gawande
In Atlanta, with a large African-American population, Sosa is often considered a black man. In Miami and Los Angeles, with larger Hispanic populations, he is a Latino man, and the black label is rejected as robbing Hispanics of a hero. – Bill Dedman
Ralph Nader is a hero. I know Ralph, and I call him up occasionally. He’s helped me out on a couple of occasions when I’ve given speeches to corporations where he’d have a good… He’d give me some good information. – Al Franken
I thought that Donald Trump’s ascendancy would end when he attacked John McCain, saying he’s not a war hero. I found that shocking, for him to say that. – Cory Booker
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. – Bob Dylan
The soldiers that didn’t come back were the heroes. It’s a roll of the dice. If a bullet has your name on it, you’re a hero. If you hear a bullet go by, you’re a survivor. – Bob Feller
I was never built to play the hero. Physically or emotionally… And they’re not as rewarding to play. At least for me. – Antony Sher
We’re all going to keep telling love stories, we’re all going to tell hero stories. It’s all a question of what your own thumbprint, your own DNA, is, and what it brings to the table that makes it unique. – Andrew Stanton
