Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
Find someone who has a life that you want and figure out how they got it. Read books, pick your role models wisely. Find out what they did and do it.
Kids always need a role model. I let them know you can do it, too, if you really want to.
Jesus is an example. We have other examples, including many of our ancestors as role models who understood the inner meaning of our orientation.
I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I win.
Make yourself your role model, because people who do not have qualities depend on the qualities of others to shape their own qualities.
I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.
That's one of the things about getting older isn't it? You suddenly realise that you are what you set out to be. And there are no role models any more.
I went in with Jack and Leslie, into this room that was lined with brick, and there on the side I can remember very clearly was this small model with plates for the bases - the original model with everything screwed together.

Last time I was starstruck was when I met Roger Federer. He is one of the few athletes that I really look up to - incredibly talented both on and off the track and a great role model for tennis.
I certainly think Halle Berry's a wonderful role model. She's a terrific stepmother and has shown that in so many beautiful ways and has made such enormous strides for women culturally and such great successes as an actress and philanthropist.
I try to be myself and, of course, be a good role model. I don't really find it hard, but you think about what you do and that other people look up to you.
The only reason we make good role models is because you guys look up to athletes and we can influence you in positive ways. But the real role models should be your parents and teachers!
