Television and comic books are, and continue to be, probably the biggest influence in my life. It's the biggest influence on everybody's life.

Gene Simmons

Bobby Cox had the biggest influence in my career and probably the second- or third-biggest influence in my life.

Tom Glavine

My biggest influences were 1980s punk and metal. Metallica were my biggest influence because they were good at everything - riffs, energy - but with such an ear for melody, it was hard not to get pulled into it and become a fanatic.

Corey Taylor

You learn so much from your parents. We grew up in a home where we were definitely taught to be confident. I definitely give me parents a lot of credit.

Venus Williams

I started on Vine when I first started. My parents were pretty confused about it. They definitely weren't like, 'Don't do it,' but they also were definitely parents like, 'you have to go to college.' So they didn't really understand what the whole concept was and what it could possibly turn into.

David Dobrik

Most definitely, my dad was my biggest influence.

David Cassidy

The Grateful Dead were an influence on our music but they weren't by a long shot the biggest influence.

Jon Fishman

What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.

Derek Jeter

Both my parents were a tremendous influence on me. My father's influence came from - he decided well, probably before we were born that as he put it, 'I'm not going to have any kids who are country club bums.'

Charles Koch

My life was definitely going into a nosedive. When my parents separated (and) divorced when I was fifteen, I definitely lost my bearings and was completely out of control. My grades were plummeting. I had no direction. I was a pretty angry teenager (and) somewhat destructive. So, I broke down in a church when I was 18 and turned my life over to God, thankfully.

Michael Landon, Jr.

My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.

Lauren Oliver

Biggest influence is my parents. It's funny but my mom was the first one that allowed me to play tackle football. My dad was not ready to let me play yet. She definitely was the one who allowed me to do it. Obviously my dad taught me to throw and be a quarterback.

Marcus Mariota

My parents are definitely my biggest role models.

Jaden Smith

The lighting changes were definitely the biggest thing and the biggest reason that people don't shoot stop motion outdoors.

Kirsten Lepore

Most definitely a daddy's girl... but I am close to both my parents. Amma is my biggest fan; Achan is my biggest critic, so it is difficult to please my father. I am always trying to make him proud.
