Music:

yes.

Movies:

The ones I work on.

Television:

The shows that pay me.

Books:

Books are over rated. Books are heavy, and they take up space. After earning 2 academic degrees, I've learned that books will teach you a little, and experience will teach you the most.

Heroes:

The people who don't know they are heros.
