I don't believe in hero worship.

I didn't ask to be a hero, but I guess I have become one in the Christian community. So I accept it. But if I'm wrong about this, I guess I'll become a bum.

I don't hero worship for the sake of hero worship. When I find people who are truly remarkable - and I think Joseph Needham is a classic example - I do value their counsel.

I don't take much notice of reviews now - obviously you'd like to have straight worship but you're never going to get that.

I don't have heroes, exactly, but I do have people I hold in high respect. Ronald Reagan, for example, stood for ideals that I value: integrity, patriotism and a fundamental belief in goodness and capabilities of mankind.

Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.

That straight man character is a short trip between comedy and drama in a project, so I can play the comedic beat on the same page as a dramatic beat. It gives me a lot of freedom as an actor to play scenes in multiple ways because I don't play the clown, nor do I play someone who is particularly maudlin.

I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

I admire many people, but I am not sure that I have any 'heroes.'

The term 'hero' irritates me greatly.
