“I don't consider an actor a star if he's paid $20 million and grimaces in front of the camera and has a stunt man stand in for him. They may be fine actors, but they're not role models. The real stars are wearing body armor in 130-degree heat . . . They're getting shot at and they don't have any stunt doubles standing in for them.” IfsMenMayRealBodyActorsStarsRolesMillionsFrontsFineDegreesModelsShotsStandingPaidCamerasHeatRole ModelsArmorGrimace Author:Ben Stein
“I don't mind that if I ever star in movies, they'll likely be mine. That's okay, because my great role models - Woody Allen, even Tyler Perry, who is actually one of my role models, even if that seems kind of strange - they do that themselves. And it's great. They build empires, and they're known as having their own voice. I think it's 20 times more fun to act on a set where I feel the freedom to change the dialogue.” IfsThinkingFeelsMindKindSeemsFunStarsVoiceKnownRolesMinesStrangeModelsOkayDialogueEmpiresRole ModelsWoodyGreat Role Models Author:Mindy Kaling

“My father was the role model I looked up. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.” StillsWantedFatherStarsRolesRecordsRocksDadModelsMy DadRole ModelsRock StarEntertainers Author:Tracy Morgan
