Stravinsky used Mother Goose. He was influenced by Mother Goose, indirectly, but very beautifully.
Gyorgy LigetiEven the contemporary horror authors who have seriously influenced me are a disparate bunch.
George StephenElvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, and a lot of American artists were my greatest influences.
Gordon WallerThe thing about influence is that any composer worth anything will give you the same names.
Harrison BirtwistleLeadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.
John C. MaxwellMy mother was the total influence. My father was what we call a nomadic person; he was a wanderer.
Danny AielloEach member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.
Daisy BerkowitzThe radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.
Dominic Chianese
