I've learned something about kids - they don't do what you say; they do what you do.
I think it's just important for people to lead by example.
The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example.
I'm proud to say I'm a role model for kids.
For me, honestly, the term 'role model' means for someone to be imitated, and I don't feel like anyone is to be imitated.
You can't be asking people to do things you're not willing to do yourself.
I lead by example.
I have a lot of younger fans, obviously the choices I make often influence them. But having said that, it's kind of the best motivation in the world to stay positive and make good choices.
Lead by example but never from fear.
Please do not take counsel of women who are so prejudiced that, as I once heard said, they would not allow a male grasshopper to chirp on their lawn; but out of your own great heart, refuse to set an example to such folly.
I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn't hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything.
I'm not really a role model; just don't do what I do.
I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.
There is no teaching to compare with example.
Lead by example. Be better than those you despise.
With young kids watching and hearing the news, we have to be on our best behaviour. I think it's really important that we inspire the younger generation to take up the game. It could turn them away. That's not what we want.
I definitely hope and I feel that I am inspiring, but I don't like the word 'role model.'
Footballers need to be aware kids look up to them.
So many girls and boys are looking up to me, and I have to conduct myself in a way that I don't disappoint too many people and I don't generate any kind of hate or propaganda for any reason. And I think we all should do that.
