My role isn't to be politically smart. My role is to do what's right under the constitution. And if that's politically unpopular, so be it.

My role model was my grandfather. He instilled in me the feeling that no matter how successful you are you have a responsibility to help others.
‐‐ Kevin Johnson
My role models are Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. Both actresses have done a wide variety of roles. That is something I wish to do. On the other hand, I also want to be like a Hugh Jackman or an Angelina Jolie because of the lives they have outside movies. Because of the kind of balance they strike between their work and life outside of it.
‐‐ Tena Desae
My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, 'I wish I could do that.'
‐‐ Queen Rania of Jordan
My role models have kept on changing.
‐‐ Kapil Dev
My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and really schooled me in terms of what the business was about.
‐‐ Julius Erving
My role models were always the Pacinos and the Oldmans, the guys who get dirty with their characters, and I arrived in L.A. during the big boom of 'Dawson's Creek.' I was getting cast as the boy next door, or the friend of the jock. I thought, 'Did I really have to do all that studying?'

My role now is as an artist and as a mogul to inspire and give others opportunities.
‐‐ Ja Rule
My role on television is one of helping people reexamine the assumptions that they hold. I regard Dr. King. You would never hear me get up and speak without in some way, shape or form, referencing, Dr. King.
‐‐ Tavis Smiley
My role on the planet is to bring the power of sound.
‐‐ Evelyn Glennie
My role, or anyone's role in network news, is to make the person on camera look good. You don't do that, you don't work there.

My roles aren't huge, but it's a start.

My roles don't centre around drugs at all! Shadiness is different - it's drama. We're making movies! You've gotta have conflict.
‐‐ Timothy Olyphant
My roles in comedies from 'Austin Powers' to 'Tommy Boy' to 'Wayne's World,' were sort of comedic 'straight man' parts. My character on 'Parks & Recreation' is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
My roles in the '80s were, like, gender dysphoric. I wasn't pretty, I wasn't this, I wasn't that. And I am kind of butchy, you know. That's just my thing.

My room for books and study or for sitting and thinking about nothing in particular to see what would happen was at the end of a hall.
‐‐ Carl Sandburg
My room is dominated by the huge painting, which is a copy of 'The Violation' by the Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. The original was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and I commissioned an artist I know, Brigid Marlin, to make a copy from a photograph. I never stop looking at this painting and its mysterious and beautiful women.
‐‐ J. G. Ballard
My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.

My room is never clean. I play 'Guitar Hero' all the time and throw things around my room.
‐‐ Miranda Cosgrove
My room used to be full of Michael Jackson posters.

My room was a real way of expressing myself. It was like a little nest that I could settle into.

My roomate at 'Harvey' is this guy Morgan Spector, an actor in town, and I've taught him Hive and Fastrack. Others have played For the Win, but Cards Against Humanity has been the dressing room hit. We've had the understudies, even Jim Parsons playing it. Our dressing room is practically sponsored by Cards Against Humanity.
‐‐ Rich Sommer
My Roomba's name is Roswell. There is the moment when you are sitting on the couch and Roomba turns itself on and goes out and starts working. You really appreciate it because it works hard for you, and it deserves some kind of recognition.
‐‐ Colin Angle
My roommate and my boyfriend, they both know I am compulsive and controlling.

My roommate at Yale University introduced me to the auteur theory of filmmaking. I soon became a big fan of the works of John Ford, Kenji Mizoguchi, Ernst Lubitsch, and Stan Brakhage. I then decided to make my own films!

My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It's in the apartment somewhere.

My roots are in Paris, and I will not pull them up.

My roots are more in he Beatles, Zeppelin, the whole 60's side.
‐‐ Pat Mastelotto
My roots are on the live performing stage, so while I enjoy making films and the other things that I do, when I get on stage, I feel at home; I'm comfortable.
