Rob Lowe Quotations | Page 3

People are human. There's such a premium today on being perfect. That's just not the way people are.

The press concentrates on a divorce an actor's going through and they ignore the good performances he gives, or the causes that he works for.

It's the media that take an isolated incident and make it a deciding factor in a presidential campaign, as opposed to the real issues, like abortion, the homeless, the deficit. The same is true with actors and their lifestyles.

The media have such a strong hand in deciding what people's perceptions are. They decide what the agenda is going to be, what the issues are.

If people are watching me 365 days a year, 360 days they might be bored to tears. And on the other five days, maybe I would qualify as Satan.

I think of myself as a human being first and foremost, and secondly as a person whose profession is acting. If people want to make that into something more or less, that's up to them.

I'll be a role model on my terms, but don't make a role model on your terms.

You show me a perfect person and I'll show you somebody who has lived a very closed life.

I don't think you have to be perfect to be a role model.

You can't believe everything you read. It's never been more true.
