“I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team. I was the kid with long hair and glasses and acne trying to learn how to play guitar and piano in the music center. I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.” TryingLongPlayKidsAgeSchoolPastGirlWaterTeamHairBallsGuitarGlassesAthletePianoGradesHockeyThrowingBucketsJocksLong HairAcneHockey Team Author:Michael Weatherly
“I was that kid. I was entertaining everybody in the living room and throwing myself down flights of stairs and making the family look special and making my mother feel better and I really wanted to make people happy. That has been my ministry my whole life. I call it The Church of F.F.C. - The Church of Freedom From Concern. And I'm a high priest in that church.” PeopleFeelsLooksHas BeensWholeKidsWantedMotherChurchRoomsSpecialConcernWhole LifeFlightPriestsThrowingEntertainingMinistryFeel BetterStairsLiving RoomMaking People Happy Author:Jim Carrey
“Part of what we want to do with the Heroic Imagination Project is to get kids to think about what it means to be a hero. The most basic concept of a hero is socially constructed: It differs from culture to culture and changes over time. Think of Christopher Columbus. Until recently, he was a hero. Now he's a genocidal murderer! If he were alive today, he'd say, "What happened? I used to be a hero, and now people are throwing tomatoes at me!” PeopleIfsThinkingWantMeanKidsTodayUsedCultureImaginationAliveHappenedHeroProjectsConceptsUsed To BeThrowingHeroicMurdererLive For TodayTomatoesColumbusChanges Over Time Author:Philip Zimbardo
