I don't see myself as being as big of an influence as other people seem to think.

I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing.

I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.

You don't have to be a 'person of influence' to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.

I'm not even the most influential person in my own house.

Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone else's hands.

That's it really, at the moment I wouldn't say I was influenced by any one thing in particular.

I get influence from everybody and everything.

Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from.
