My Hellboy is modeled on my father in some ways: a guy who's been in the Korean War, and he's traveled, and he's done a lot of stuff, and he's kind of got a been there, done that attitude. He's also been in the world. Del Toro's change was to have Hellboy bottled up in a room and mooning over the girl he can't have.

My Helmut Lang leather pants are my most treasured possession - I've worn them almost every day for two years, and they look good with everything.
‐‐ Jessica Hart
My heritage has been my grounding, and it has brought me peace.
‐‐ Maureen O'Hara
My heritage is English, so I'm proud to be back here.
‐‐ Nicholas Lea
My hero is Michelle Williams, who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.
‐‐ Zoe Kazan
My hero is Roger Federer.
‐‐ Saina Nehwal
My hero Socrates trained Plato on a rock. How much did that cost? So the greatest minds in history became the greatest minds in history without spending a lot of money.
‐‐ Dave Brat
My hero when I was 14 was Sonny Liston. No matter what kinds of problems you were having with your parents or at school, whatever, Sonny Liston would go and knock guys out, and that made it all right.
‐‐ August Wilson
My heroes always are mostly my parents - my father especially, and my mom, who's passed on already. My dad is a very strong man, and by him being educated, and a principal and school superintendent over 37 years, he plays such a big role in my life.
‐‐ Dikembe Mutombo
My heroes and heroines are often unlikely people who are dragged into situations without meaning to become involved, or people with a past that has never quite left them. They are often isolated, introspective people, often confrontational or anarchic in some way, often damaged or secretly unhappy or incomplete.
‐‐ Joanne Harris
My heroes are, above all, the great 19th-century Americans: Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson and the others. I love the way they think.
‐‐ Marilynne Robinson
My heroes are always ready, willing, and able to execute moves necessary to get themselves out of deep trouble.
‐‐ Ruth Glick
My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.
‐‐ Michael Jordan
My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They're just great actors.
‐‐ Jonah Hill
My heroes are guys like Frank Capra and Elia Kazan and Coen brothers and Terry Gilliam, more so than a lot of bass players at this point in my life. So I've always been an old-film nut and have very much enjoyed doing videos over the years.
‐‐ Les Claypool
My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.
‐‐ Dylan O'Brien
My heroes are just everyday people who work hard, are honest and have integrity.
‐‐ Jordin Sparks
My heroes are people like Picasso and Miro and people who at last really reach something in their old age, which they absolutely couldn't ever have done in their youth.
‐‐ Robert Wyatt
My heroes are the camera crew and the electricians. They work such long hours.
‐‐ Adam Baldwin
My heroes are the non-commissioned officers. If I had another life that's what I'd be - a regimental sergeant major or a similar rank. That's where the spirit of the armed forces is.
‐‐ Bob Ainsworth
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
‐‐ Bono
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
‐‐ Sidney Sheldon
My heroes don't have anything special. They have something to tell other people but they don't know how, so they talk to themselves.
‐‐ Haruki Murakami
My heroes, I couldn't imagine them practicing. Like Bob Dylan, you know? Bob Dylan's a very, very good guitar player, but it's like he's trying to hide it. I always loved this attitude. When you're very good... it's like being an athlete - and I always hated sports!
‐‐ Laurent Brancowitz
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
‐‐ Derek Jeter
My heroes - people like Woody Allen - were stand-up comedians. Therefore, I always felt I should give it a go.
‐‐ Stephen Merchant
My heroes were all in the theatre.
‐‐ Damian Lewis
My heroes were always Looney Toons, Robin Williams, the Three Stooges. I think everything I do is kinda funny. I think I'm sort of ridiculous.
‐‐ Ben Foster
My heroes were always soccer players.
‐‐ Ronaldinho
My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on.
‐‐ John Hughes
My heroes were Eddie Van Halen - especially after Van Halen I, II, III, and IV - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley and dudes like that. My brother played drums and we jammed in the garage and started writing our own stuff.
‐‐ Dimebag Darrell
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
‐‐ James D. Watson
My heroines, more often than not, are the ones who are troubled and resistant.
‐‐ Sylvia Day
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
‐‐ Jim Parsons
My high salary for one season was forty-six thousand dollars and a Cadillac.
‐‐ Duke Snider
My high-school a cappella teacher would embarrass me in front of the choir. 'Mavis, you're in the basement. Mavis, you're singing with the boys.' I said, 'Mr. Finch, my voice isn't soprano. I can't sing up there with the girls.' So I just got out of the choir.
‐‐ Mavis Staples
My high school career counsellor said I shouldn't pursue music as a career.
‐‐ Chet Faker
My high school career was undistinguished except for math and science. However, having barely been admitted to Rice University, I found that I enjoyed the courses and the elation of success and graduated with honors in physics. I did a senior thesis with C.F. Squire, building a regulator for a magnet for use in low-temperature physics.
‐‐ Robert Woodrow Wilson
My high-school coach Tony Reginelli was kind of famous for 'Reggie-isms,' kind of like 'Yogi-isms.' He always said if you want to be a good quarterback, when sprinting left you want to be amphibious and throw left-handed. I told him, 'You mean ambidextrous, coach?'
‐‐ Peyton Manning
My high school coach was Ray O'Conner. He has coached a lot of players that have signed professional contracts, and many of those have gone on to play in the major leagues.
‐‐ Robin Yount
My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content.
‐‐ Evan Dando
My high school English teacher in junior year, Dr. Robert Parsons, assigned us some Poe stories, including 'The Black Cat' and 'The Purloined Letter.' Being an animal person, I had trouble with 'The Black Cat!' I got hooked instead by 'The Purloined Letter,' a Poe story with detective C. Auguste Dupin.
‐‐ Matthew Pearl
My high school experience was kind of like 'Mean Girls.' It was very much like a bad B movie. 'This is where the jocks sit, and this is where the cheerleaders sit.' And I never really fit in. I guess I was sort of a theatre geek, but the activity that I was most invested in was speech and debate.
‐‐ Andie MacDowell
My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.
‐‐ Zachary Levi
My high school girlfriend would ask if I finally learned how to unbutton the back of a sweater!
‐‐ Breckin Meyer
My high-school papers, my college-application essays, read like Norman Mailer packed in a crunchy-peanut-butter sandwich.
‐‐ James Wolcott
My high school was a private school where you went to an Ivy League. That's just what was expected of you and nothing less. So I grew up never being okay with a 'B' because a 'B' was not good enough.
‐‐ Troian Bellisario
My high school was nothing like West Beverly High, let me tell you. I grew up in Fredericktown, Ohio.
‐‐ Luke Perry
My high school wasn't a big public school; it was tiny. There were 36 girls in my graduating class. We were a big group of girls that by the time senior year came along couldn't wait to get away from school fast enough but we loved each other. It's really fun to see the girls at reunions now.
