I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
M. F. K. Fisher was a wonder and a huge influence, and someone I got to know pretty well at the end of her life.
I look up to Tegan & Sara, obviously, Adele and Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks. All these artists are strong in their convictions, and they haven't changed who they are for the music business.
I used to devour biographies of people like Natalie Wood and Marilyn.
I think one of my biggest influences is Bette Davis. I've seen almost every one of her films, and she's been very inspiring to me.
Eve Ensler is a hero of mine. She's been working for the rights of women for a long time.
America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin.
I feel very close to Maryann Plunkett and Jay O. Sanders.
I look up to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman. The best part about 'America's Got Talent' was performing with her!
The two contemporary writers whom I consider as role models are Janet Malcolm and Michael Lewis.
I definitely look up to Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins, and J.K. Rowling.
