“Dizzee's just my childhood hero. He's definitely the inspiration. He's got himself to a very good place. He's defied the expectations of what British black urban music was like. He was the first person who made the rest of Britain realise it wasn't just a one-album-type situation. You've got to take your hat off to somebody like that.” FirstsPersonsMadeInspirationBlackSituationChildhoodTypeHeroExpectationsVery GoodAlbumsBritishBritainHatsRealisingUrbanFirst PersonGood PlaceHats OffUrban Music Author:Tinie Tempah

“Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood - for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.” WorldLongBookRunningMemoriesSimpleChildhoodHeroBraveSimplicityComplicatedTelling The TruthLong RunsDefeatedContradictoryDisappointingSwordsman Author:Graham Greene
“When Kirk dies it was very emotional and very strange, in the moment and all the way through the process.

“But Stacie Orrico was my childhood hero. I was about 12 when I found her music. She is a contemporary Christian artist, and I can honestly tell you that I don't think I'd have a soulful voice if I didn't listen to Stacie.

“You're the hero of your own story. So it's interesting for historical revisionism to happen. I had let go of my own story from my own childhood and whatever anger I had and I began to see it from a very different place. It's really easy to be like "This thing happened to me! Look what they did to me or are doing to me." These are such powerful ideas and it's so easy to hold onto them forever.” LooksIdeasDifferentStoriesHappensEasyMy OwnInterestingPowerfulForeverHappenedChildhoodHeroLetting GoHistoricalThings HappenDifferent PlaceRevisionism Author:Baron Vaughn

“You never know how things are going to fit. So, you don't count your eggs until they hatch. You can't pre-project that. I mean, this was literally like a childhood fantasy of mine, to be able to work in action.

“Everyone knew what he was thinking. Certainly there were demons in the world. But they were like Tehlu’s angels. They were like heroes and kings. They belonged in stories. They belonged out there. Taborlin the Great called up fire and lightning to destroy demons. Tehlu broke them in his hands and sent them howling into the nameless void.
