The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here.

A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.

I think even a hero is someone who has sort of the flaw or imperfection of character. I remember Alice Walker saying that once - she'd written a novel about a civil rights hero, and it was someone who had this flaw, this central flaw.

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

There are a lot of people I look up to and respect, but there's nobody really specific I would call a hero.

A hero is someone we can admire without apology.

I like to say I'm not a hero.

A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown.

I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

People are so complex and multidimensional that raising someone to 'hero' status is too great a simplification.
