Carl Lewis was definitely a role model.
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.
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.
I had my serious side - I idolized Bobby Kennedy; he was my role model. But so was Jerry Lewis.
I stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.
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.
I am a role model, definitely and I definitely support women.
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.
I wasn't jumping like Carl Lewis, but I still won an Olympic title.
What we'd consider a positive role model, I think it's impossible to actually be a role model. You'll have your flaws or defects of character, regardless. You just speak like a positive role model, and that's just something that you're being conscious of, and you make the decision, "I want to say positive things."
I definitely consider myself a role model.
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
I definitely stand by the phrase that I'm an entertainer and not a role model.
I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.
Carl Lewis wasn't a great sprinter. He could only run fast for like 9 seconds.
As a sports person there is definitely a responsibility to be a good role model.
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
