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

'Journey' was very much inspired by Joseph Campbell's work for 'The Hero's Journey,' but, from among his works, I like 'The Power of Myth' best.

Jenova Chen

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

Viggo Mortensen

To be a colored man in America ... and enjoy it, you must be greatly daring, greatly stolid, greatly humorous and greatly sensitive. And at all times a philosopher.

Jessie Redmon Fauset

It's high time for the art world to admit that the avant-garde is dead. It was killed by my hero, Andy Warhol, who incorporated into his art all the gaudy commercial imagery of capitalism (like Campbell's soup cans) that most artists had stubbornly scorned.

Camille Paglia

My dad was just a big Joseph Campbell nut.

Trey Parker

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

Antoine Fuqua

James Dobson

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

Christopher Nolan

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

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

Eric Weiner

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

Peter Dinklage

I can't single out one thing that influenced me. My generation was influenced greatly by the manga that came out during our childhood.

Takashi Miike

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.'

I don't hero worship for the sake of hero worship. When I find people who are truly remarkable - and I think Joseph Needham is a classic example - I do value their counsel.

Simon Winchester

Like my hero Virginia Woolf, I do lack confidence. I always find that the novel I'm finishing, even if it's turned out fairly well, is not the novel I had in my mind. I think a lot of writers must negotiate this, and if they don't admit it, they're not being honest.

Michael Cunningham
