Sexy in India is not considered positive. But with today's crop of fresh faces in the modelling arena being sexy is an asset.

I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter. The last thing I want to put out there is that it's acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you're in Hollywood.

If you think of a work of fiction as a kind of scale model of the world then the positive valences - where things turn out better than you thought they would - ought to be in there somewhere too.

The only reason we make good role models is because you guys look up to athletes and we can influence you in positive ways. But the real role models should be your parents and teachers!

I had many teachers that were great positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.

I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do find the joy in it and express yourself through your passion.

I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches copies of copies until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity doubt uncertainty not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material but because that is the way we humans really are.

First of all I try to be a positive role model.

If you are given a chance to be a role model I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.

Under the auspices of peace our comprehensive renaissance will be built and it will be a model for those who wish to emulate it in the greater Arab homeland.

We believe democracy to be the only real guarantor of stability and we have sought to create a 'Jordanian model' that might also inspire others in our region. I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come.

I build a kind of wall between myself and t he model so that I can paint in peace behind it. Otherwise she might say something that confuses and distracts me.

You have to find the peace and patience within yourself to be a model and an example to others and not judge.

I believe the accepted model of capitalism that demands endless growth deserves the blame for the destruction of nature and it should be displaced. Failing that I try to work with those companies and help them change the way they think about our resources.

I don't really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. It's good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly - rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because it's their style.

When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker it felt like dying and going to heaven.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters so I've just grown up with that model.

I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.

The regular guy still relates to him and Howard is a $500 million guy now who dates a model and drives about in a limo all day. But Howard still knows how to make a plumber laugh and those guys still have him on in the morning because he is a real talent.

If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient a lot more real time a lot less waste.

Well I was eight years old and I have an older cousin who is three years older than me and she was doing acting commercials and modeling at the time and... to see my cousin doing that was really inspiring and I wanted to do it. So I went to my mom and I asked her if I could do it and for the acting part of it she made me study for a year.

My mom was a photographer and whenever they needed a baby for a modelling job she'd stick me in front of the camera. That's how it started.

My goal is to be a household name and when I do that I want to help other girls become models and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye and it's always been a dream of hers.

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'
