I’m the one person who wears the words ‘hustle, loyalty, respect’ on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children. It’s very flattering to see a kid wear your T-shirt; it’s even more flattering to have a dad come up to you and say, ‘I watch you with my kid. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re a role model for my son.’

— John Cena

I have to tell you, I’m proudest of my life off the court. There will always be great basketball players who bounce that little round ball, but my proudest moments are affecting people’s lives, effecting change, being a role model in the community.

— Magic Johnson

It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.

— Joyce Maynard

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

You should be careful what you choose to see as a role model, whereas inspiration can come from anywhere.

Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating…too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.

— John Wooden

The role model thing gets imposed on you by someone else. I don’t think that’s fair.

— Luke Perry

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.

— Chip Conley

Each of us, famous or infamous, is a role model for somebody, and if we aren’t, we should behave as though we are — cheerful, kind, loving, courteous. Because you can be sure someone is watching and taking deliberate and diligent notes.

— Maya Angelou

I don’t have an inspiration, I don’t have a role model. I like to meet different people and gain something from their experiences and their lives. I take inspiration and worth through what they’ve gone through. I don’t have one person I look up to always, apart from the person that I am, if that makes sense. I just look up to the person that I was yesterday and I just try to better myself whichever way I can.

— Harnaam Kaur

We usually look outside ourselves for heroes and teachers. It has not occurred to most people that they may already be the role model they seek. The wholeness they are looking for may be trapped within themselves by beliefs, attitudes, and self-doubt. But our wholeness exists in us now. Trapped though it may be, it can be called upon for guidance, direction, and most fundamentally, comfort. It can be remembered. Eventually we may come to live by it.

— Rachel Naomi Remen

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

— Denzel Washington

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

— Wayne Rooney
