A Quote by Paige Spiranac

The ability to act as a role model shouldn't depend on owning a pile of trophies. Instead, we should look at role models as whole people - people who fail but overcome adversity, people who inspire us both on and off the course, people who spend their time trying to make their community a better place.

I don't see myself as a role model; people should look to mothers and sisters as role models.

Lily Allen

Sometimes I feel like the best role models and the people you should look up to most are the people who make mistakes because they show you how to overcome them and walk through that mistake with integrity and grace.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Some people shun the idea of role models but I think it's one of the most important things people have in life - role models, to look up to.

Zawe Ashton

I hear people say, 'I'm not a role model' all the time, and it's like, 'Well, of course you're not!' It doesn't mean that people aren't going to look at you as one, though.

Kenya Barris

Typically, when you look for role models, you want someone who has your interests and came from the same background. Well, look how restricting that is. What people should do is take role models a la carte. If there's someone whose character you appreciated, you respect that trait.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

I never feel pressure to be a good role model. I always try to do my best to inspire people to be good and do the right thing, but I just can't live my life always trying to be a good role model.

Kylie Jenner

As adult women, we're better able to protect ourselves emotionally. We understand we don't need to spend time with people who don't make us feel good. We recognise that some people have bad energy and we know we don't want that in our lives. Instead, we choose to spend time with people who love us and treat us well and make us happy. There's no doubt that shows on your face.

Deborra-Lee Furness

I don't really agree with the role model thing. People are always saying that athletes shouldn't do X or Y because they are role models.

Claudia Rankine

We lack role models who can inspire our young people to make change.

Emmanuel Jal

I don't want to be anyone's role model. My mole models were assholes. My role models are dead. My role models never made it to 30, so I'm a bad person to ask for advice.

Sharon Needles

I genuinely wanted to be an inspiration to other people and inspire people and be a role model.

Jon Jones

People who are role models for the principles and values of the organization, who buy in and understand the vision of what the organization is trying to accomplish, and have the personality to inspire other people to the vision. You know, that’s what team chemistry and leadership is all about.

Nick Saban

My role is to remind people that everyday people can make a difference. And if we get people out there doing things to make America a better place, we can bring change.

Nina Turner

The older I get, the more I realize I'm becoming people's role models and that's freaky to me. That's not what you intend to do when you set out to be a musician, to be a little 14-year-old's role model.

Ingrid Michaelson

I think being named role models kind of happened just naturally, we never really asked for it. Which is lovely, I love the fact that girls look up to us and we empower people and inspire them.
