Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.

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

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

Speaking to numerous teachers and nurses, I am consistently struck by the sense of mission they have about their work.

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.

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

I don't see many people as heroes and, though I love sport, I believe athletes rarely deserve that praise.

I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.

People who really try to be conscious of what they have done, who take responsibility, to me these kinds of people are heroes.
