Give me a character that has an heroic quality, and I'll go there.

Heroic people take risks to themselves to help others. There's nothing heroic about accepting $5 million to go out and run around chasing a ball, although you may show fortitude or those other qualities while you do it.

I don't really like heroes who always behave heroically. That's not interesting to me.

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb.

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

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

People aren't universally heroic.

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