"A lot of people think crime is bad, but it all depends on how you pick your role models. I lean towards governors, bankers, athletes and Sith lords."

Anyone can be a fool
And do things which are wrong
But fools find out, when it's too late,
That they don't live so long
And do things which are wrong
But fools find out, when it's too late,
That they don't live so long

Duckman: Role model? Hey, I'm a waterfowl. I'm not a TV show! Even if I were, any halfway intelligent audience would know I'm not someone to imitate. Who'd aspire to be someone who's gotten the stuffing knocked out of him so many times the only reason he gets up in the morning is because either he's really stupid, or somewhere, deep down inside, beats the heart of a disappointed, yet still hopeful idealist, a yellow (Yes, yellow!) teller of truth, who's a spokesperson for the silent masses, who'd love to tell it like it is, who's an idol to be emulated, nay, a god to be bowed down to?! But... I'm not a role model.
