I have seen heroics - soldiers saving other soldiers' lives - and horrors.

People aren't universally heroic.

That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.

I admire people who re-create themselves. And it seems to me that what gives us all the opportunity to be heroic in our own lives is that we work to heal ourselves and be better than we were yesterday.

I think it is rather heroic to go into a war zone where everyone is trying to kill you, and you have no way of shooting back.

People of my generation are used to collecting the heroic boys. And they're used to paying a lot of money for heroic boys. I don't make a third of what a guy would make.

True heroics, obviously, is not the absence of fear, but having that fear and doing something anyway.

I do think we need heroes. It gives people hope and an example to follow.

I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.

I'm not a hero. The military is.
