The magistrate who originally sentenced Eric Cantona to prison said that millions of young people saw him as a role model and tried to copy his behaviour. I wonder if this is true.
My current role model is Beyonce. She is such a strong woman. She can do everything. She has kept herself together and has balanced her life perfectly. She is a great singer, great dancer and a great looker and is now a good mother and wife.
If what I say or what I do affects others who look up to me as a role model, that pleases me so much.
I grew up watching Salman Khan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who have always juggled fitness with acting. In real life, I’m a fitness freak. Besides, it is nice to look at an actor who is fit, and if you become a role model, that’s a perk.
I have carried the burden of being a role model for some time. And that’s great. The body of work I’ve done has afforded me that opportunity.
I was given such a great gift. It’s a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I’ll be. I just want to be a better man.
I am really looking forward to being a role model for girls.
I don’t know if I am a role model, but I’ve had young kids write to me. I try to write songs that I wish I would have heard when I was younger. It’s kind of strange to think of yourself as a role model. That wouldn’t be a bad job.
I don’t think of myself as a role model, but I do feel like, for women out there who are trying to figure out who they are, the most important choice to make is to live a life that’s true to who you are inside. And let your ideas and your heart and your mind drive your fashion choices.
My father was an immigrant who literally walked across Europe to get out of Russia. He fought in World War I. He was wounded in action. My father was a great success even though he never had money. He was a very determined man, a great role model.

From Day One I always wanted to be a role model. For me, that’s who I am.
I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.

In the beginning of my career, I didn’t have any female singer in metal to ask for advice, nor have I ever had a role model or a metal singer that could inspire me, because the way I sang was operatic.
We have a lot of great lesbian role models in tennis. I mean, Martina Navratilova in her heyday was probably the greatest female athlete on the planet. Martina just kept breaking every rule. That’s a great role model.
Stan is a rescue Chihuahua mix. He was the role model for Bob, the dog in ‘Ivan.’ The drawings in the book look precisely like Stan.

A large demo of my fans are younger, and I try to be the best role model possible and tell them that if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can create amazing work.
I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn’t hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything.
For me as an individual, it’s important that I have a career as a role model for my children, that I earn my own money, and I spend it prudently and imprudently.
That’s so important for children when they’re growing up, to have a strong male role model.
I try to be myself and, of course, be a good role model. I don’t really find it hard, but you think about what you do and that other people look up to you.
It is so key to me to be a good role model for young girls and someone their mom would want them to look up to.
When you speak of role models, when we talk to our kids, everybody is a role model, everyone, just as you look at a Michael Jordan to be the terrific athlete he is.
It’s not that I have compromised or anything, but it’s always been important to me to take good care of myself and be a good example. I’m not much a role model in terms of hair care, though.
Giving teenagers some inspiration, a single role model and an opportunity to be part of something bigger at a critical point in their lives can be the difference between being a productive or being a destructive member of society.
I think I just want to focus on being the best player that I can be and being the best role model that I can be by just doing all the right things, not just for black kids or kids from different backgrounds, but for all kids who play the game. You want them to look at you in a positive light.
I’m not a role model to my kids. They’re a role model to me.

The X Factor’ was amazing because I like being a positive role model to young artists; that’s what I believe in. If I can shed some light and give them some tips on how to believe in themselves and be more confident with their craft.
Yes. I was the first female colonel. I enjoyed being that kind of role model for young women watching the show. A woman can be a colonel! A woman can be in charge! Those were new ideas then.

I can see that I can be a role model.

Honestly, I didn’t know I was a role model.
My biggest role model right now is Beyonce, just ’cause she is a very, very strong, powerful woman, and that’s obviously the number one reason to be inspired by her. She is just killing every game there is to kill.
The best thing I could do is build a successful company and continue to innovate and be in the right role I want to be in. If I’m not doing that, I’m inauthentic. That’s not a good role model to anyone. That, to me, is the most important thing.
I love interacting with the fans and being a positive role model for little girls.
I think historically it’s good for younger people to see where so much influence has come from. If you’re using my mother as a role model it gives women permission to be kooky and wonderful and individual and unique and loyal and independent all at the same time.
It’s so weird to turn on a switch and be the role model for all women, for all African-Americans. That doesn’t happen that easily. It just doesn’t. And so I don’t act up in public and I don’t do anything weird – because my sisters are watching me, not because the world is watching me.
When any of us thinks of ourselves as a role model – whether that’s as a parent being observed by their kids or a leader under the microscope of their followers – it creates a natural stepping up of how we carry ourselves and what we expect from ourselves.
