We are exploring creative models to pursue innovation outside the confines of our normal process, taking calculated risks and learning from them.
Infected by political ideology, if you dare question climate models, your career is done.
The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It’s astounding. Maybe they can’t see or they can’t hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They’re models of courage, in a strange way.
My fellow economists and academics fail to understand the economics of trade in the real world. Traditional models of academia respect free trade without considering whether it is fair trade.
Growing up as a product of the black civil-rights movement, I had a lot of different models for black weirdness, whether it’s Richard Pryor or James Baldwin or Jimmy Walker.
I’ve got more than 600 pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, from 1950s originals to newer models. I have them on the wall like opticians do so I can pick out a pair that goes with my outfit. I had around 30 pairs, then my husband Rainer started getting them for me as birthday and Christmas gifts.
Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.
All the adults in my family were actors, so there wasn’t much else in terms of role models. I fell in love with that world, being backstage at the theatre.
Some models are naturally very thin, but if they aren’t naturally like that, then what these girls do to their health to fit in… To be a size zero or a two when you’re tall is incredible to me.
I didn’t grow up with a lot of role models necessarily when I started out – there weren’t many people who looked like me on TV. Not in England.
Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci are my political role models.
The Blue Brain project expects to have a full human-scale simulation of the cerebral cortex by 2018. I think that’s a little optimistic, actually, but I do make the case that by 2029 we will have very detailed models and simulations of all the different brain regions.
I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists – you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they’re 70.
It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago. With spirituality comes morals, a better way of thinking.
Let’s face it: Most of us don’t realize it, but we are failing our kids as reading role models. The best role models are in the home: brothers, fathers, grandfathers; mothers, sisters, grandmothers. Moms and dads, it’s important that your kids see you reading. Not just books – reading the newspaper is good, too.
Social media has truly helped my career because it has given models a voice. And a voice is something that we want to see a change in the industry.
I’ve been on lots of movies where we’ve done a lot of planning of sets – how much you build, and is this big enough, and will this get us what we need? – just with foam-core models.
Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that firsthand.
Cinematic icons of the police detective are more male role models than female.
My attempt has been really to, beyond making a record of contemporary life, which is what you inevitably do, is trying to make beautiful books – books that are in some way beautiful, that are models of how to use the language, models of honest feeling, models of care.
It was the early Seventies, and I discovered makeup by going through my mother’s fashion magazines. I fell in love with the photos, the models, the fashion.
We don’t have glamour models in Canada at all.
After my first ‘Sports Illustrated’ cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I’m not a toy; I’m a human. I’m not here to be used.
I work with a host of amazing women who act as role models, who give their spare time freely to encourage these girls to give things a go, to reach out and take a chance and to explain that should they fail, well that’s just a part of life.
I didn’t have any role models of artists that were in the same playing field as me – making expensive videos, travelling, marketing and promoting an album.
I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.
Not for models. SuicideGirls is a mystery to me because I thought only women ran the site.
Trade allegedly does not foster growth because when it begins, a flood of imports of factory origin destroys the handicraft manufacturing of the less developed country: the models for this are the effects of British exports of textiles and of iron in India and Chile in the first half of the nineteenth century.
I have fought to protect those benefits that ensure better salaries for teachers across the Nation such as grants to pay off student loans and funding for Teach for America. Still, we must all do more to show our continued appreciation for our Nation’s leading role models.
Kids need activities and role models to stay out of trouble.
There are no rules, no models; rather, there are no rules other than the general laws of Nature.
In the 1980s, there weren’t a lot of role models for gay teenagers.
Old models of development simply seek to lure business with substantial tax breaks and then hope (and pray) that economic benefits will trickle down to residents. It has not worked for our city in the past, and it will not work for the future city that we all hope want to see.
I get that it’s packaging and it’s neat to put a name on what the girls are. But it seems to me that they were making us Sports Illustrated swimsuit models instead of women who wrestle on a pro wrestling program.
Jesus is an example. We have other examples, including many of our ancestors as role models who understood the inner meaning of our orientation.
Role models should be people that you know. Like your mum.
Fields make huge progress when they move from stories (e.g Icarus) and authority (e.g ‘witch doctor’) to evidence/experiment (e.g physics, wind tunnels) and quantitative models (e.g design of modern aircraft).
There are plenty of models who have children.
The campaigns and the models in them create the fantasy around the brand. It has always been about having strong images. Without that, we could not have gone into all the categories we did. It really has been the foundation from where the house of Guess was built.
When I was really young, the women’s national team wasn’t on a grand media stage, so my role models were male basketball and male American football players.
Role models can inspire. Campaigns can motivate. But if we want all girls everywhere to rise up, then we must find them, befriend them and support them.
From the start, I used a different kind of girl in Nars campaign images. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a deliberate one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.
When it comes to role models, as a person of faith, I think we all have one perfect role model. And when I’m asked that question, I point to God and to my faith. And that’s where I tell my kids to look.
I’ve never hung around with any models. I’ve always hung around with my friends from school and kept myself to myself.
We want to be role models.
Models are like athletes: You burn hard and fast.
Fashion doesn’t look good only on models; it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.
Maybe I’ve had a sheltered life and career, but I have so many role models to look up to. It’s normal that I would strive to build my own career.
I think Jennifer Lawrence is a brilliant role model for young girls, not some of the models that I see on the runway.
If people decide thin is out, the fashion industry won’t have thin models anymore. Have you spent time with fashion people? They are ruthless. They want money. And the one thing they know is people want clothes to cover their bodies. Unfortunately, most people aren’t comfortable with their bodies.
We were fortunate enough to have our own business to keep us moving up through the ranks – go-karts, Bandoleros, Legend cars, Late Models. That’s where we stalled out, but luckily we caught a break with Joe Gibbs Racing and the diversity program.
People who attack biography choose as their models vulgar and offensive biography. You could equally attack novels or poems by choosing bad poems or novels.
I wasn’t against becoming a dad: I’d had a good childhood, as childhoods go, and as role models, my imperfect parents were as good as or better than most.
I once knew a house rather like The Land of Smiles – an old house occupied by a varied collection of young people, mainly students. However none of these people were true models for the characters in the book, though their way of life may have been.
Too many pupils at schools in the U.K. want to have careers as footballers or TV hosts, or models, because that’s what they’re constantly exposed to as the heroes of our time.
