Of course, it's imperative that we stabilize Iraq and quickly reduce our armed role there.
David Hackworth

Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.
J. G. Ballard

Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.

Silvio Berlusconi

Getting in shape for this role, which is incredibly demanding, vocally, has been a lot of hard work, but I'm nailing it. I'm even kind of, at times, blowing my own mind, because I am even able to talk right now.
David Hasselhoff

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio

I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK, I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good, but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.

Brian Eno

I'd be stupid not to take into consideration that there are certain things people will not consider me for because my name is Lopez. And I know I can do any kind of role. I don't want anybody to say, Oh, she can't pull this off. So those are barriers that you have to overcome.
