Kevin Smith, cult movie god, made clerks in 1993 by maxing out credit cards and selling comics and laserdiscs, the reason i'm getting a job in movies

If I had to pick only one, probably Steven Spielberg. I have others, but he went from smalltime to big time real fast. Easily one of the most influential people with the most generally liked and groundbreaking movies.


Very few can even match up to him and he STILL makes damn good movies. Major props and major rolemodel.

Yu Suzuki (j/k)

I don't know, really... There are so many people who inspire me and who I think are great.

If I had to pick one, it'd maybe be actor/comedian/writer Stephen Fry.

He's incredibly funny and witty and he promotes intellectualism whereas most other people in the public eye will try to promote vulgarity and cheap jokes.

He just seems to emote the pleasant way I think we should all try to be like. He's an "ideal".

And this has nothing to do with the fact that he's gay. Anyone who has seen Stephen Fry on programs like Q.I. (new series this Friday :) , or his appearances on Room 101 and Have I Got News For You as well as "A Bit of Fry and Laurie") will attest to that.

I suppose he inspires me to make myself a better person but to never look down on others for who they are. It's kind of like looking at who you want to be and how you want to be seen in the mirror.

The guy's just too damn clever... :D

I wouldn't go as far as to call anyone a 'hero' but James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet from Metallica have been huge influences on my life, I started guitaring because of their muscial influence and I guess the music I listen to has kind of helped shaped my personaility.

Bjork.
Singer, songwriter, composer, conductor, actor, mother.
And she does them all flawlessly (well, I don't know about the mother part. She keeps tight-lipped on her personal home-life)

Horatio Nelson
Gave his life for the British way of life. What a man.

Winston Churchill
Fought hard (well he led us) to protect the British freedoms from the Nazi's.

Nigel Farage
Fights corruption in the EU. Love or loathe his political opinions you have to agree with his actions in the EU parliament.

Roger Helmer
The model politician, put principle before party and got the sack from his EU parliamentary group.

Hitler was very smart man, the bad thing is that he focused his mind on wrong things.By the way who are we to decide what's good and what's bad?

Meh...he had some good songs, but I like the "Graves" era a bit more...its more melodic.

I have several heros, here are the ones that arent any of my family members:

Loudness, my favorite band.

Bob Ross

Yuji Naka, the man that made me a gamer

Martin Luther King Jr.
