The other day, someone told me that all my life I will be telling the stories of underdogs. Their stories always appeal to me.
We may have limped onto Broadway as the underdogs, but underdogs bite back occasionally.
One of the problems with trying to help underdogs, especially with government programs, is that they and everyone else start to think of them as underdogs, focusing on their problems rather than their opportunities. Thinking of themselves as underdogs can also dissipate their energies in resentments of others, rather than spending that energy making the most of their own possibilities.
I'm always drawn to the underdogs, to the people whose stories don't get told.
I am always a sucker for the underdogs. I love Batman and Superman, but when it comes to the guys who don't stand in the front of the line, Aquaman is one of the key guys for me. He's so much fun to work on.
Look, when we go as favourites, then it's a problem, but if we go as underdogs then other teams feel the danger, so I think being underdogs is good for us and eases the pressure.
You can ride your bike to anywhere in Portland if you want to. I think there was a charming underdog mentality when I first moved here in the late '80s that is definitely gone. People acted more like underdogs, dressed more like underdogs.
I love stories of female empowerment. I love stories of, "Hey, I'm an ordinary person." "No, you're not!" I love stories about not knowing you have it in you, but when called to task, you rise and you find out who you are.
Spiderman is the underdog, and I love underdogs.
I am for literally all of the underdogs that I can command and demand better of everyone, including myself.
People are falling in love with characters now, and that is why writers are creating such stories. I am really happy that such stories are getting prominence.
Hate it or love it, the underdogs come out on top.
Before 'Fallen,' I'd written love stories and more love stories. I'd fallen in love with love stories - but they were also beginning to feel just a little bit too insular, too small.
I love underdogs, people who have achieved extraordinary things against the odds.
