The person I admire the most is my signature. An actor, director, scriptwriter, painter, comedian, ex-video game designer, editor, novelist, and about a thousand other things.. and he's really talented in everything... a genius. And that word gets thrown around too much maybe, but... yeah.. A true renaissance man.
But my HERO was probably Ed Wood and people like him; anyone with qualities like his is my hero.. I like his hardheadedness, the fact that he kept doing what he was doing in spite of everything (lack of talent, lack of money, etc.). I don't know if Tim Burton/Johnny Depp's romanticized version of his life story really did him justice.. he was an alcoholic and something of a sleazeball, apparently... but he just kept doing whatever to reach his goals... I think people in my life who I look up to also fit this kind of standard... I have a friend who is the brokest person I know but somehow he always manages to do the things he wants to do (without bumming money from people) and he always has a good time, even without a dime to his name... and he'll do the most impossible things... one time we had to move a whole bed and everything he owns in this little ass car for an hour long drive.. it was so crazy.. he was tying everything to the car with ropes and shit and we were sitting on top of his records in the seats, literally the ENTIRE CAR was filled with his shit, you could barely even move, up to our necks in movies and records and shit... so funny... I just love people who go and accomplish things in spite of whatever setbacks might incur...
