I am not likely to die of bashfulness but neither am I prepared to be crucified to attest the perfection of my art. I dislike to hear of any stray heroics on the prowl for me.
George Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower all rode their wartime heroics into the White House.
In a movie, that's the only time when you're allowed these kind of fantasies to be lived. Being able to look so cool and be able to fight five bad guys and take them down. When can you do that?
Had I listened to my agent, I'd be running around in tights, climbing buildings and stuff.
What I find interesting about Captain Action is that he is more an adventurer and spy than he is a soldier.
A manager has to convince his hitters that they have to get on base for the next guy and that no player can do it by himself. Sometimes that isn't easy. In the playoffs, you can get into trouble because everybody wants to be a hero.
Song is the heroics of speech.
America's present need is not heroics but healing, not nostrums but normalcy, not revolution but restoration, not agitation but adjustment, not surgery but serenity, not the dramatic but the dispassionate, not experiment but equipoise, not submergence in internationality but sustainment in triumphant nationality.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.
I swim with all my strength. No superhuman surge, or pony heroics; it's just me at my most desperate.
Ultimately, the one who scores the winning run is a finisher, irrespective of whether he's an opening batsman or No 11. What matters is how much you are contributing. If you can win matches for your team, you are a finisher.
Time for some thrillin' heroics.
Make no mistake - LeBron James was carrying the Cavs, but Dellavedova was the cinematic element: hustle personified.
Heroics that don't come off are the very essence of burlesque.
I would love to do an action film.
But protagonists are protagonists and heroes are heroes.
I wanted to score the winning goal in the 90th minute of the World Cup final.
True heroics must be carefully planned - and strenuously avoided.
At this point in time the war [ WWII] is close enough to still feel hotly personal to a writer, yet far enough away so that jingoism and heroics are no longer required.
I don't think you mess around when you talk about tales of valor.
It seems to me that we spend most of our spiritual energies trying to explain why the God of Elijah, Samson, David, and Paul seems to have lost His muscle in our modern age. Did He grow tired of performing heroics? Did He wax feeble after all these years of running this whole universal show? Could it be true that God has really lost His muscle? Maybe it would be more accurate to say God lost His men.
As a kid, you put yourself in those positions. Bases loaded, two outs, you're at the plate. That's kind of the way I envision it as a kid playing whiffle ball or whatever the case was.
Sometimes in a team game, the entire spotlight is on one man.
When it's late in a game and things are tough and you need a basket, someone has to step up. That player has to have the ability to create opportunities and draw fouls.
