I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.

Robert Redford

When I wrote my first album, I was reading Joseph Campbell - he's this philosopher who writes about mythology. That inspired the title, 'No Mythologies to Follow.'

If you just read Joseph Campbell, who has written amazing books on mythology and religion, they all do come together at some point. There are some of the greatest stories that there have ever been in the Bible. All you have to do is read the book of Maccabi, it's like a film script.

Mel Gibson

My dad was just a big Joseph Campbell nut.

Trey Parker

I've never read Joseph Campbell, and I don't know all that much about story archetypes.

Christopher Nolan

Religion is nothing but institutionalized mysticism. The catch is, mysticism does not lend itself to institutionalization. The moment we attempt to organize mysticism, we destroy its essence. Religion, then, is mysticism in which the mystical has been killed. Or, at least diminished.

Tom Robbins

I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious.

Will Smith

I must admit to being greatly influenced by Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces.

Norman Spinrad

Joseph Campbell, who when asked what spiritual practice he followed said, "I underline books." Me too.

Eric Weiner

Joseph Campbell said the privilege of a lifetime is being yourself. That's his feeling. And I guess it's mine too.

Viggo Mortensen

'Star Wars' or 'The Lord of the Rings' deal with great big Joseph Campbell-style myths, good and evil.

Peter Dinklage

I'm usually working on my own mythology, my own realm of created characters. Stories in mythology inspire me, though I may not be conscious of it.

Anne Rice

My faith, inasmuch as I have any, is more like a kind of Joseph Campbell thing, and even that frequently finds itself tested to oblivion in siren waters.

David Knopfler

I used to like Norse mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology. All mythology!

Kendrick Sampson

Colin Campbell should be thanking me for raising his profile. I'm the only one who's put the Colin Campbell name on the map. Who has even heard of Lord Colin Campbell?

Lady Colin Campbell

My real name is Joseph Herbert. My dad is white; my mom's Asian, Filipino. And when I started stand-up 22 years ago, I used to go up as Joseph Herbert, and I would just have to defend my name. Every time I went onstage, it was so annoying. People would heckle.
