My family, my friends, musicians I've mentioned, the authors of the books I've named, the filmakers of films I've mentioned. The list continues....I think it's good to have heroes, as long as you remember how and why you are influenced by them. They are there to 'help' you, but only when you really need it...I like these quotes:"I don't know what I'm afraid of/Or even what I enjoy" - Richey Edwards, Manic Street Preachers."Here, I came in, right on queue/One is me, and one is you." - Ian MacCulloch, Echo and the Bunnymen."With my Les Paul/I may be small/but I enjoy living anyway/yes I do." - Marc Bolan, T.REX."All you can do is cling to your obsessions.... Construct your own personal mythology out of them.... Follow those obsessions like stepping stones in front of a sleepwalker.... [Because] if you compromise with your own obsessions, that way lies disaster" - J.G. Ballard
