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

I like to say I'm not a hero.

The term 'hero' irritates me greatly.

I was never able to write seriously about heroes because I was very aware that I was not one and that in my background there was not this heroic thing.

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

There are a lot of people who can be classified as heroes and do great things and inspire me.

It's hard to describe yourself as a hero - I just like to think of myself as a policeman. People can look to you like that, as a good guy who can help people.

A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.

There's a tendency when you write a book to portray yourself as the hero.

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