I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' on my birthday.

If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.

So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.

Beauty has been democratised. No longer the preserve of movie stars and models but available to all. But while the invitation to beauty is welcomed it has become not so much an option as an imperative.

No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.

I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction but in a very general way as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language.

A supermodel needed to be able to be on 'Sports Illustrated ' to be able to walk runways to be able to do beauty ads to be on covers. And the girls now can no longer be on covers and be in the ads because your actresses have taken over all the jobs. I don't know what happened but we want our jobs back.

I have girls who are concerned about how they look compared to models or what have you. It's my responsibility to teach them that beauty is more than superficial.

Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.

A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.

I don't want to be perfect but I do want to be a role model. My mom always tells me that imperfections equal beauty. All of us are imperfect.

I don't know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom - she's the coolest. She's worked really hard her whole life and I just think she's got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it's so silly.

People think 'She's a model. She must have such an attitude. She must be so stuck up.' But I'm normal. I cry. I'm not rich. I drive a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.

Rules and models destroy genius and art.

The intellectual force of the West is still dominant but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning and that less will be based on our models.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

Another little known fact about Amazing Tennis - the computer opponents are modeled after real people. In an odd turn of events I joined a division 3 college tennis team at age 38.

I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man.

My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls. She brings an exceptional dedication to her job her family and her community and has been a role model of mine for many many years. I'm extremely proud of her.

Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine... so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.

People always think that if you eat anything as a model it's amazing. I used to tease them and say you know I'm going to throw up afterwards.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad coach mentor soldier husband and friend.

I started out modeling at a young age and surrounded myself with different brilliant minds. I have so many people to get educated from and I've been a sponge.

As a result of the digital age and the decline of first-class mail there is no question that the Postal Service must change and develop a new business model.
