What interests me more than dramatic heroics are the domestic things: How do people do laundry and find food when the world is about to end?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think most people are all heroic or all villainous, so I find ambiguity of motivations to be a natural human condition.
The simple act of caring is heroic.
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.
People have their complexities. They have their heroic moments and their villainous moments, too.
That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
People aren't universally heroic.
Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
People of my generation are used to collecting the heroic boys. And they're used to paying a lot of money for heroic boys. I don't make a third of what a guy would make.
I think violence, cynicism, brutality and fashion are the staples of our diet. I think in the grand history of story-telling, going back to people sitting around fires, the dark side of human nature has always been very important. Movies are part of that tradition.
