Most of my influences are turn-of-the-century.
George Crumb
Music has always been transnational; people pick up whatever interests them, and certainly a lot of classical music has absorbed influences from all over the world.
Yo-Yo Ma
My biggest musical influences are probably my parents.
Bobby McFerrin
My earliest influences were things I heard in my household.
Boz Scaggs
My early influences were the Shadows, who were an English instrumental band. They basically got me into playing and later on I got into blues and jazz players. I liked Clapton when he was with John Mayall. I really liked that period.
Tony Iommi
My family... always had the value of the family table and these cultural influences of growing up.
Emeril Lagasse
My grandmother sang, too, and she was really loud. It was this wild kind of singing. I count her among my influences.
Cassandra Wilson
My influences were Peter Sellers and the great British character actors.
Tracey Ullman
My main influences have always been the classic jazz players who sang, like Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole and Jack Teagarden.
Mose Allison
My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well known blues musicians.
Walter Becker
My two biggest influences are Archie comics and Dennis the Menace.
Gilbert Hernandez
My whole life experience feeds into my writing. I think that must be true for every writer. Clearly the Army and combat were major influences; just the same, you need to understand that many of the writers we have now couldn't load a revolver.
Gene Wolfe
Mystery Science Theater is really a postmodern show, it's really derived of many influences.
Joel Hodgson
Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.
Gerald W. Johnson
Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it, and how it is perceived further influences that reality. Even time itself is not exempted from biocentrism.
Robert Lanza
Oh, yeah, I've always thought of covering some of my influences like Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder.
Jon Secada
One of my great influences was Don Knotts as Barney Fife.
Martin Short
OUR history begins before we are born. We represent the hereditary influences of our race, and our ancestors virtually live in us.
James Nasmyth
Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job. But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
Rod Blagojevich
People always ask about my influences, and they cite a bunch of people I've never heard of.
