I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up. The fun is not that much different from doing a television show: You're stuck with a certain set of rules, and then, rather than trying to break them, it's just trying to peel away and see what's underneath them. That to me is really fun.

I just write the characters the way I see them. And maybe that's because I'm surrounded by the most amazing men,from my father to my husband to all of my brothers. They are true heroes!

Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.

I've actually met quite a few of my heroes from the past.

There are a lot of people who can be classified as heroes and do great things and inspire me.

I've probably got lots of heroes. One is a chap called Charles Campbell - he is a wonderful chap. We cooked together in a nightclub in Notting Hill. He told me brilliant stories of food and life and generally put me on the right track.

When I wrote 'We Can Be Heroes,' I was just so excited about the concept of playing loads of characters, and a television series allows you to do that.

I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.

I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.

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