Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.

You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.

Those who kept their sanity and humanity intact in the face of awful adversity. Heroes named and unnamed, some known only to God.

I think heroes are the people that go into houses when they're on fire and save people in hospitals.

It would be nice to say the rich people, the fancy people, all behaved like bastards and the poor slobs all came through like heroes. But as a matter of fact, sometimes the poor slobs behave like slobs and the great, noble, privileged characters come off very well, indeed.

Day after day, ordinary people become heroes through extraordinary and selfless actions to help their neighbors.

The greatest in heroes in life are the anonymous. That's what I believe. Your neighbours are heroes. People who, when you walk down the street, you see them feeding their little baby - these people are heroes because they are living under difficult situations, but they're still trying to save a life.

Sometimes, in the midst of a tragedy like the Newton massacre, we witness incredible acts of valor, tenderness, grace, and decency. We saw it from Sandy Hook Elementary School's teachers, students, and parents, as well as from their community and country. The outpouring of sympathy and help has been touching and, at times, inspiring.

People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.

People were incredibly kind to our family and went out of their way to help.
