David Bowie - for showing people that creative change is a good thing. Jonathan Ross - for getting away with almost anything. Stephen Hawking and anyone else who knows anything about physics. Trent Reznor - for writing some of the most insightful songs ever. My Dad - for being able to build whole houses. David Lynch - crazy but creative genius. Aaron North (NIN) - for the most deadly stage dive I've ever seen. The bat that came into my house and stayed for the day - for looking cool whilst flying. Boris Karloff - the best ever Frankenstein. Trying to think of heroic women - give me time - but definitely not Ellen McArthur (don't even get me started on her!)
