People Who Inspire Me

For One Reason or Another

People often ask me who I consider my "role model" or who I really "admire." I don't think that anyone can have just one answer to this, as there are people in all fields of life who inspire in a different way. So here's my list of people who inspire me, and why they do.

Back to my World

Madonna-she is my universal role model. Not only is she talented, beautiful, and sexy, but she also has confidence. She is not afraid to be who she is and do what she wants, regardless of what other people think.
Alice Hoffman-this author can weave a story so well that you don't even realize you've turned any pages until the book is already over. A master of detail. I would love to write like her.
Laurell K. Hamilton-another author. Her heroine, Anita Blake, is perfect-sassy, strong, sexy, and most importantly-HUMAN. You can really believe she exists.
Poe-if being crazy makes you this talented, then DAMN is all I have to say.
Mr. B-my high school chemistry teacher. He didn't act like he knew everything, although he is very intelligent. He's fun, helpful, and easy to understand. Also an extremely nice person! I wish I could be that patient and friendly.
Weird Al Yankovic-this man is a genius in his own right. The songs he writes are often crazy but always funny.
Lucille Ball-she was so talented! If I could go back in time and meet any person, it would be Lucy. She was beautiful, funny, and a role model for women of all generations. Her crazy schemes and love for the spotlight are something everyone can identify with.
Pablo Picasso-I'm just into spanish art in general but Picasso has always been my favorite. Yes, he was a little crazy but that's what allowed him to form some of his ideas and visions. He basically created several forms of art, such as cubism, and had a realm of creativity we may never understand.
Tim Burton-this man is a genius! As a director and producer he came out with such hits as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Batman, and more. He always managed to work with great stars such as Johnny Depp, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder. His creative visions and the way he brought life to his characters is simply amazing.
Tim Curry-this actor is so versatile and just really good. Loved him in "Clue" and "Scary Movie 2."
