A lot of people say television holds up a mirror to life, and that’s why you see all the drug busts and the killings and the seamier side of life. I personally take the view that it’s not sufficient to portray only negative role models. It’s not enough to say ‘no’ to drugs. What do you say ‘yes’ to?
I lost a bet with another model. We were watching a Cleveland Browns game, and she told me I should be a model. I said that models are pretentious people who don’t eat. She said, ‘If you choose the winning team, I’ll do you a favor. If I choose the winning team, you’ll go to a casting call.’ She won, so I went.
‘Sanctus’ deals with creation myths in every culture. It fascinates me that all cultures, evolving independently, have similar models of mankind’s origins, of a Greater Being, of the flood, and so on. It’s amazing how they crop up time and time again.

Industrial jobs are disappearing, and they will continue to disappear owing to productivity gains from automation. Thus, social models that were created to fit industrial and early service economies will no longer be viable. As the industrial workforce shrinks, the social model founded on it will go, too.
You know, everyone says, ‘Modeling and acting are so similar’… they say, ‘It’s so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.’ I don’t think of it in that way.

I like running my Super Late Models here and there and there are times when you go to those events and they are for $2,000 or $3,000 to win. There’s no money involved in that; you’re basically spending your money to go racing in those things but it’s so enjoyable. For me, it’s kind of like a golf game.
I see girls that I know – I absolutely know – will be star models within just a matter of weeks, and they always are.
Models are like athletes: You burn hard and fast.
I’m not a twentieth-century novelist, I’m not modern, and certainly not postmodern. I follow the form of the nineteenth-century novel; that was the century that produced the models of the form. I’m old-fashioned, a storyteller. I’m not an analyst, and I’m not an intellectual.
There are many mediocre entertainers who don’t aspire to much more than fame and glory. It’s very easy to have them as your role models because there aren’t as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there.
So many black kids aspire to be entertainers or professional athletes because those are the only role models they see that look like them.

I didn’t have role models to look up to because there was no access to them.
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.

I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it’s 30 years later.
Everyone has to try to give back as much as possible because I think in all sports it helps kids to have role models or people to look up to. Someone like Jess Ennis, I know a lot of young girls have started to get into athletics stuff because of her, because of her success.
I don’t care to be famous. But at the same time, you look at all the role models these little girls have, and they don’t have anyone to look up to. I mean, it’s weird, but if I just hid out and didn’t let myself be known, who would they look up to instead, you know?
I’m not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It’s more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
