I look up to:
● Stephen Fry & Oscar Wilde for their intelligence, way with words, and not caring what other people think of them. This latter argument is more relevant for Oscar Wilde, who didn't hide his ~deviant~ sexuality even when in court. It really made me admire him.
● John Lassiter and the rest of the original Pixar team, who worked tirelessly day and night on low wages to make Pixar what it is today. AND THAT IS NOT DISNEY. Disney and Pixar are two very different companies. Disney even fired Lassiter in the 90's because he wanted to use CGI animation, and they thought that was whacked out and dangerous. :/ To a lesser extent, I also look up to Steve Jobs for saving Pixar, even though it was a big risk at the time, and George Lucas for giving them an early chance, even though he also later gave up on them.
● Hans Zimmer, for his beautiful musical ability. I'm not a naturally musical person (I couldn't even learn the guitar, sadface), but his instrumentals have helped me time and again when I've been depressed or needing inspiration. :]
● My Father, for the way he valiantly battles against his severe depression every day. When I had a breakdown last year, it was his help and advice that kept me going.
