#role models

My mother and father were perfect role models. They were together for 25 years and very much in love. But I've got too much to do now. I'm only 27. ↗

I don't have role models or watch much TV. I go to awards ceremonies but often I don't even know who the people are. I think that's good, because then you don't have preconceived ideas about them. ↗

I didn't have any role models really. My best friend was a dog. My mum and dad saved a dog from the gutter and that dog was my brother before Jesse was born. Sami was his name and he was my role model. ↗

Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models. ↗

I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother. ↗

Especially in the car ride to and from gym. I find myself spacing out a lot, just visualizing what the Olympics would be like and just having such great role models. ↗

The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to. ↗

That's one of the things about getting older isn't it? You suddenly realise that you are what you set out to be. And there are no role models any more. ↗
