We need role models who are going to break the mold.

Kids need role models, whether it's baseball players, actors or musicians: people to bring a little positive light into their hearts and minds. We need to be a little kinder to those people because it's not easy being that role model, looked upon as something we are all incapable of being - too perfect.

Young people need models, not critics.

Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.

Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.

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

I'm not a role model to my kids. They're a role model to me.

Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.

There's no shortage of great young activists.
