He was simply not a “hero”, which is to say, he did not let his relationship with the man be determined by the woman.

The cool thing for me is, I go to a lot of conventions – a lot of science fiction conventions like Comic-Con – and there are always a lot of attendants of color. And I think some people believe that black people or people of color are not into science fiction or hero shows or genre shows.

I thought, ‘Oh, this is great,’ because maybe someone who does look like me will watch ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and realize that they can be an actor if they want to be, or they can be a superhero. They can have a hero that looks like them as well.

Anyone who’s trying to be there for their family and trying to take care of their children is a hero to me.

When I was little I knew my father had been an orphan and had lived in an orphanage. I was curious, but my father wouldn’t satisfy my curiosity. He told only one story about the orphanage, and that was of sneaking out and buying candy, which he sold to other orphans. He said he had a pretty good business going – till he was busted! I guess he told that anecdote because he was the hero of it and I suspect he was rarely the hero as a child, more often the victim. There’s a photo of the actual orphanage on my website, and you can see it’s a forbidding looking place.

There are more of us than you think.

The old fairy tale makes the hero a normal human boy; it is his adventures that are startling; they startle him because he is normal.

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

Elvis was a major hero of mine. I was probably stupid enough to believe that having the same birthday as him actually meant something.

The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.

The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.

Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.

If you would maintain the slightest belief in human heroism, you must never make a pilgrimage to see the hero.

Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young. His name even went into immortal print, for the village paper magnified him. There were some that believed he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.

The word ‘superstar’ is an illusion.

We shouldn’t be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas.

Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

Ronaldo was my hero. I loved watching players like Zidane, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo, but Ronaldo was the best striker I’ve ever seen.
