My greatest influences, personally, are my mother and my fiance. I guess I'm a momma's boy. (okay, I KNOW I'm a momma's boy). My mother has always just been a very calm, guiding force, even when we don't get along - and always seems to have the solution to my biggest problems. My fiance is my support system - she has utmost faith in me in everything I do, especially at times when I don't have faith in myself.
Professionally, I have an acting professor who would just throw out little pearls of wisdom from his years and years of teaching and performing. When I first took a class of his, I had just met him and didn't realize just how smart he was. When I took another class with him some three years later, I kept a notebook on my lap at all times just to write down the things he said (without realizing he was saying anything profound). Even now, when we talk on the phone, I keep post-its next to me in case he says something else useful.
