Simultaneously, my two biggest heroes are Susan Sontag and Morticia Addams from 'The Addams Family.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mom and Dad are truly my heroes. And I have to say, so is my little brother Robert. He's 11, and he's just the most amazing boy. He's so much like Dad sometimes, it's a bit scary.
My uncle was a hero, Lewis Roundtree. He was not even related to me really, but he was always called my uncle. He was like a father to me. I was closer to him than I was my father.
In the high level cartoon world, my number one admired hero would be Chas Addams - really a top, top artist that the 'New Yorker' was lucky to find and employ.
My off-the-field heroes, the people who gave me the values to live by and who inspired me with their hard work and unselfish dedication to their family, were my mom, Catherine, and my dad, William.
Marguerite Duras was a very good friend of mine and an intellectual hero. She was also a sort of mother figure. Of course she was an influence.
My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.
Two of my biggest heroes were my father and John Wayne.
My great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, was my biggest hero in life, my biggest inspiration behind everything I do.
I've really had two heroes in my life. My father and Ronald Reagan.
I admire many people, but I am not sure that I have any 'heroes.'
