I never thought a role model should be negative. — © Michael Jordan
I never thought a role model should be negative.
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.
It's nice if I am called a role model, because I never thought that I would be a role model for anyone else.
I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.
I never thought I would be a role model for anything. But a role model for fun, I can do that.
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 never thought I'd be a role model this early. It caught me off-guard, but it says a lot about how I was brought up, what my values have been, and how my parents raised me. It's very flattering that being myself is enough to be a role model.
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 stay away from the title of 'role model.' I want to be a more realistic role model - not a perfect Barbie role model.
I would never say, "I'm going to do these things in a video to be a role model so people make me a role model." I want to be myself.
If your idea of a role model is somebody who's gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I'm not a role model. But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah.
I would never be so arrogant to think that someone should model their life after me. But the idea of possibility the idea that I get to live my dreams out in public, hopefully will show to other folks that it's possible. So I prefer the term 'possibility model' to 'role model.'
I never thought I'd be a role model at this age. I just have to be myself.
I never thought I'd be a role model but I think to some people I am or have been.
Whatever role I play is a positive role; it's a strong role. Never negative.
I never thought in a million years that I would be called a role model for girls and even boys, too.
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."
