As a parent, I have a job as a role model to my children, and by extension, to other young people.
I've never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there.
I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
I do not devalue the role of a maid or nanny, or the stereotypical roles that some members of our family have actually done to feed our families in real life.
Hopefully I'm a role model for positive change for everyone - not just women. It's very important to find balance between men and women.
I was 17 and the whole thing was very confusing at the time. It was a great job and I loved it, and to lose the role was definitely tough for me. I was devastated when I lost the role.
I love to star in movies, but I want to have good roles. It doesn't help to get starring roles in something that's no good. I mean, that will just kill you.
Every time there's a really good story, there's women in it. We may not get as many roles, but the roles we get are really good, I think, for the most part.

I landed the role in 'Caddyshack' auditioning, like everybody else. It wasn't a role I thought I'd get, so I had nothing to lose.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
My role models were childless: Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, George Eliot, the Brontes.
Right now I just want to play good roles, and if the role happens to be a gay man, that's not of any import other than, 'Is it a good story? Does it say something that's interesting?'
I think male roles are generally much better written. So for actresses, we're always dealing with trying to inject a role with more truth than the writer possibly had in mind.
Well, clearly Apple is a role model of the American innovation whereby it produced all these products - iPod, iPhone, iPad - that are really now dominating all the technology arena in the world.
Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don't want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.
