I definitely hope and I feel that I am inspiring, but I don't like the word 'role model.'
I did model for a little while part-time, but I wasn't a bloody model, and I am definitely not that horrible thing 'model-turned-actress.'
I like being a role model - people have told me that I am a role model for empowered women, but I don't see myself that way.
It's great to be somewhat of a role model. I want to be a positive and good role model and lead by example and try to do the best I can. Playing good golf definitely draws attention, but I want to have a good attitude on the course and do the right things.
Carl Lewis was definitely a role model.
I definitely consider myself a role model.
I definitely stand by the phrase that I'm an entertainer and not a role model.
As a sports person there is definitely a responsibility to be a good role model.
I don't choose projects according to the idea of being a role model. To be considered as one is definitely an honor.
I may not be a role model, but I most definitely could be motivation for a lot of people in the hoods.
I know the first female astronauts selected were definitely an inspiration to me, and so maybe I will be a role model.
I love dancing just because I've done it my whole life and it's definitely what I want to do. I feel like, I want to train with acting and do movies. Those two are my main priorities. I definitely want to be able to sing and model, too. I definitely love those, too.
I definitely do want a family. The idea of being a father and providing the type of love, guidance and support that my parents have given me is definitely down the road.
I'm not saying it's easy, and it's definitely harder for women. Because there is definitely a double standard about gorgeous older men, and it's different for older women.
I didn't have a role model. My role model was Michael Jordan. Bad role model for an Indian dude... I didn't have anyone who looked like me. And by the time I was old enough to have what could have been a role model, they were my peers. Aziz Ansari is my peer. Kal Penn is my peer.
My Maria on stage definitely is a real natural part of who I am, but obviously I can't walk around as that girl. You know what I mean? It's definitely an alter ego, but it is part of who I am, it is who I am, it is my life.
