I have a lot of spiritual books that I read that I really, really love - everything from the Bible to Joseph Campbell, who I love. He wrote The Hero of a Thousand Faces. It's about exploring what is heroic in you. It helps me a lot.

Viola Davis

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

Viggo Mortensen

Now, I underline - underline, underline, underline - nobody loves the outdoors as much as me. Nobody loves water as much as me.

Jim Justice

I believe that this idea of story or myth or this thing that Joseph Campbell writes about is sort of an inter-connective spiritual force - like The Force in 'Star Wars' - where it doesn't matter where you were raised, or what your background is, there are certain elements of story that totally appeal to you.

Damon Lindelof

I had been asked to open a nightclub in Atlantic City. They offered me a ridiculous amount of money. They literally overpaid me. So I did one show a night. Then they asked me back by popular demand. So I went back. Then I said, "To hell with this." I was only doing it for the money, and I was doing easy routines. It's just too much work to get up every day and practice.

Gene Kelly

I challenged Coleman and he accepted, he said he'd fight me. I pointed at Baroni and challenged him too, he looked at me with a bewildered look on his face and asked: "Me?", I said "Thats right, You!!" I also challenged Quinton Jackson and he looked at me and said "Me too?", and I responded. If you want some, there is some for you too!

Wanderlei Silva

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 started studying mythology, just on my own. Joseph Campbell, mysticism.

Antoine Fuqua

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

Tantra is for the advanced spiritual practitioner who is ready to push aside spiritual practice in the name of spiritual practice.

Frederick Lenz

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

Christopher Nolan

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

Norman Spinrad

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

Will Smith

On the return flight from my mother in Florida , I sat next to a businessman who asked me what I did for a living. I said, "I write," and it seemed totally ridiculous in the face of what had just happened. I mean, I couldn't think of anything more pointless than telling stories. He asked, "What do you write?" I said, "I write children books."

Kate DiCamillo

Someone asked me...how it felt and I was reminded of a story that a fellow townsman of ours used to tell--Abraham Lincoln. They asked him how he felt once after an unsuccessful election. He said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark. He said that he was too old to cry, but it hurt too much to laugh.

Adlai E. Stevenson
