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.

Utkarsh Ambudkar

My mother's death brought me to my knees. She was my hero, my role model, my very best friend. I spoke to her every single day of my life. I really tried hard when I grew up to make her proud of me.

Maria Shriver

I'm not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I've managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.

Cher

Of all Prince Philip's respected biographers, only Sarah Bradford is adamant that Philip has had affairs.

Ingrid Seward

Prince Philip is very intellectual. And Prince Charles is extremely well read.

Princess Michael of Kent

The royals - all of them, especially Prince Philip and Prince Charles - have done outstanding work with the faith communities.

Jonathan Sacks

Prince Charles is an absolute Mountbatten. The real intelligence in the royal family comes through my parents to Prince Philip and the children.

Lord Mountbatten

I stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.

Melanie Martinez

Was Prince Philip in love when he proposed to Elizabeth? At the time, he was a relatively penniless prince, with a rackety family and no home to call his own.

I've met Prince Charles and Prince Philip.

Edith Bowman

I'm not having to go outside and switch the role model hat on. It's me, and it's important for me to leave that legacy to help inspire younger players because I didn't have a role model growing up.

Carli Lloyd

Father is my Defender (Hero). Mother is my Teacher. Sister is my Counselor. Wife is my Savior. Children are my Fighters. Then what is the role of my Friend? Friend is my Motivator in life.

Sandeep Kumar

I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.

Demi Lovato

I think it's something much bigger than just pro wrestling and the industry I work in. It's across all media. You look at Hollywood movies: there's not the Muslim hero or the guy who looks like me and has a name like mine who is portrayed in a positive manner or in a leading role. So, growing up, I didn't have a role model that looks like me.

Mustafa Ali

Everybody should have their own thing, and if he don't want to be a role model, that should be up to him. In the right situations, I can try to help and be a role model, but I'm still gonna speak my mind, and if that affects the role-model deal, then too bad.
