The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage in a strange way.

I just really like fun cool interesting quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche but it's so freaking true!

In New York City you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.

You can involve yourself in electronics computers puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context.

I won't compare ants and people but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling in effect one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way.

In my teaching I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.

I'm a role model now. I didn't know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans so I've tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don't want me to be Miley Cyrus either.

This great though disastrous culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.

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.
