I am on the side of the underdog except when I am on the side of the rich
I've always been passionate about the concept of helping the underdog. It just doesn't make sense to me as to what kind of person would take a huge platform and not use it to do something, to change something, to help people.
I like to give a voice to others, especially things neglected or despised.
The Love Army is a growing network of people who want to stick up for the underdogs in the red states and blue states in the era of [Donald] Trump.
To me, being Australian is about looking after your mates, taking care of the less fortunate, supporting the underdog and enhancing the spirit that makes all Australians unique.
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am. My clients were little people fighting big corporations, so it was a natural thing to not only represent the little guy but also to pull for him - it's the American way.
Compassion without wisdom is dangerous. It's what enables people to support the 'underdog,' even if the underdog is evil
I don't think there's anything immature about fighting for the underdog and fighting for people who don't have a voice. I have an intense desire to protect people who can't protect themselves.
If a show is a critical success but a ratings flop, I assume that people are just championing the show because it looks cool to root for an underdog.
Back in the day, I was a Royce Gracie fan and a fan of Tank Abbott. It's always the different-looking guys that you want to root for. Then there were guys like Mark Coleman and Randy Couture, so for me to get in there and fight against guys like that is pretty cool.
I'm getting very sorry for the Devil and his disciples such as the good Le Chiffre. The devil has a rotten time and I always like to be on the side of the underdog. We don't give the poor chap a chance...the Devil had no prophets to write his Ten Commandments and no team of authors to write his biography.
Comedians usually are rooting for the underdog. I mean to take a shot at an underdog I think is really stupid and low and not funny.
After the fact, our hearts always go out to the fallen Goliaths. Yet we invariably root for their Davids. Until they're winners.
Always a big fan of the Browns, of course. No wonder how bad they lost or how much we froze to death out there, we still went to the games to watch them lose.
We also have a tendency to root for the fugitive. We're always on the side of the animal being chased.
I grew up in Sydney in a very political household, where we were all for the underdog.
A lot of times you go to a fight and the crowd will be for a certain fighter who is the favourite but if the underdog shows he has a chance they sometimes even swing to side of the underdog.
Supporting the English cricket team is like supporting a second division football team. I support Norwich City football team and when they lose I really don't mind because I expect them to; but when we win I'm so happy - much happier than any Arsenal supporter could ever be.
But, it's much easier to do that than produce the movies from scratch. It excites the same thing in me, whether we build it from the ground up, or whether we come on when the movie is done or almost done. The idea of supporting the underdog and getting a smaller movie out there in a big way is equally exciting.
You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.
My mother enjoyed few things more than investing in the underdogs and showing them that they were special and could achieve their dreams.
From a really young age, I was into female empowerment and supporting the underdog. Right now, I'm into female vengeance.
I always loved the Clippers. You root for the underdog. Obviously, everybody in L.A. is a Laker fan, but deep down inside, you root for the Clippers. If you're a true Los Angelean, that's how it happens. You always want the Clippers to do well.
I always go for the underdog or the rogue or the rebel.
All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.
