Whatever the Victorians did right in England, we need to resuscitate over here. In the late 19th century, the entire English population were propagandised into buying into a certain code of morals. I would be happy if we could emulate that in some way in America.
Young women can be particularly hampered by a lack of female teachers, since they may not feel as comfortable in classes taught by men. And as more girls see educated women who are prominent in their careers and communities, the more positive role models there are for them to emulate.

Broadcasting is plastic; while it can ape the press, it can also emulate the arts.
Directors such as LV Prasad would enact the whole scene for the actors. He used to enact the scenes for Raj Kapoor too during the filming of ‘Sharda.’ But it was up to you to emulate the director’s vision on the screen.
When I was a kid, I was a fan of comedy. I always loved Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Dave Letterman – not an actor, obviously, but I’m still impressed by his wit. I wanted to emulate them because they made me laugh.
When I checked into SEAL Team One many years ago, one of the things that I noticed was there was this old guy, who was younger than I am today, who I decided that I was going to be like. I wanted to emulate what he was doing, and one of those things was he got to work before anybody else.
Denzel Washington is a person I will always emulate. I emulate him because he focuses on real life. Because of that he has made me a better person.
I think Mariska Hargitay on ‘Law and Order: SVU’ is a really good example of a female lead I’d like to emulate. She’s really been able to captivate men and women in a way that’s appealing, which is a tough line to follow.

If you’ve looked at all the glamour magazines lately, all the covers are actresses. If they are on those covers, they are going to try to emulate models. That’s just the way it is.
I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I’m not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.

Hopefully my books are improving. One of the ways I find motivation to improve is looking at someone who is already at a high level and continues to get better with each book. That’s really what you want to emulate.

I’m not trying to emulate William Faulkner. I never said I was.
I feel like women are so specific and special, that there’s no point as a woman to emulate somebody. If you shoot for a masculine direction but be yourself, you’re going to get something completely new, because your femininity will show up.
