There are relatively few role models for young people. We are in a society that is ruled by men.
Catherine Deneuve

Religion obviously played a role in this book and the previous book, too.
Studs Terkel

I don't care about being a star. I can do a supporting role; I don't have to be a lead.
Tom Berenger

Fiction has a unique role in conveying Truth. In fact, only fiction that is Truth with a capital T is worthwhile.
Jerry B. Jenkins

If you do your job properly you usually learn a lot from any role you do.
Rene Auberjonois

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
Amber Tamblyn

You can't fall back on the private sector and say, 'You take care of the nation's banking system.' That's a fundamental function of the government, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the FDIC, etc. All of those agencies have a major role to play there.
Dick Cheney

But again, we, I think, over the years have set the example for a lot of nations that may not have had the same values, the same type of coming out of the same culture that we as Americans have and enjoy. But we can be an example, a role model for them.
Hugh Shelton

They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors.
Salma Hayek

It's usually the exact same three things which are, the Scripts, the Director and the Role those are the three things I look for and really any two of them, If I get two of them that's usually enough, but definitely those are the things I look for.
Matt Damon

Nobody I represent is pretending to be the pope or a role model for young people. People have to live their lives. They have the right to smoke if they want.
Ben Affleck

I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno

I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.
Nicole Kidman

And I don't think that government has a role in telling people how to live their lives. Maybe a minister does, maybe your belief in God does, maybe there's another set of moral codes, but I don't think government has a role.
Clarence Thomas

All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
Noam Chomsky

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.
Patrick Stewart

It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
Brenda Blethyn

As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.
Ice T

Even on the greatest teams, there's always one role player.
Keith Olbermann

I always choose roles that are, you know, hopefully different from the last role. I don't wanna do the same thing over and over again because that's, well, first of all that's no fun.
Zooey Deschanel
