You Inspire Me

Sort by: Showing 31 items
Average listal rating (1345 ratings) 8.4  
1. Edward Norton

He's my favorite actor, and possibly my favorite person. He's intelligent, talented and I love that he's so concerned about the state of things. He does a lot of charity work and he really just seems like a great guy. I've loved every role he has done (even though his latest movies have been disappointing).

Average listal rating (334 ratings) 7.3  
2. Tina Fey

She inspires me by being smart, funny and beautiful. It's really hard to find female celebrities that truly are great. Tina Fey, for me, is one of the few. I love her sense of humor.

Average listal rating (156 ratings) 8  
3. Norman Reedus

He's inspirational by being so down to earth and not being so self-centered like celebrities usually are. He's really kind to his fans, and he seems like a great person.

Average listal rating (314 ratings) 8.5  
4. Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn is definitely one of my favorite actresses. Her personality is amazing, and her acting is great (or should I say was?). Even though she was really beautiful and feminine, she still had some tomboyish character in her. She's is one of the few people I relate to, at least on some level.

Average listal rating (36 ratings) 7.8  
5. Johnny Rotten

Johnny Rotten is one of my greatest inspirations in life. Many people don't get it but I respect this guy so much. As I found someone that already said how I feel about John Lydon, I'll just quote her:
"No matter who or what he is now, what he’s said, what he’s done, Lydon will forever remain one of my biggest inspirations for his moments of insight throughout his life, his ability to remain grounded throughout the punk movement when everyone around him was going out of their minds, and his ‘Fuck it or leave it’ attitude on life."

Average listal rating (426 ratings) 7.9  
6. Neil Patrick Harris

Being openly gay and having such a good sense of humor makes Neil Patrick Harris one of my favorite people. He's just so charming.

Average listal rating (18 ratings) 6.9  
7. Gwendoline Christie

I got a chance to meet her in London and I've been in love ever since. I loved Brienne and thought she was so great but after meeting her I love her even more. She's such a confident and beautiful woman, really an inspiration for me. She's really tall and she can still carry every inch of her with grace.

Average listal rating (1414 ratings) 8.3  
8. Gary Oldman

I just don't get why this guy doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He should have like a million Academy Awards by now. He won my heart with his portrayal of Sid Vicious, but every freaking role of his always pleases me.

Average listal rating (442 ratings) 7.5  
9. Paul Bettany

Paul Bettany is an inspiring person for me. He's really diverse as an actor, and also quite intelligent. And he's one of my favorite atheists. He's just really likable and charming.

Average listal rating (855 ratings) 7.7  
10. Jodie Foster

I have the same feelings about Jodie Foster as Katharine Hepburn. Jodie Foster has done really diverse acting roles and she's an inspirational woman. She has a great view on life.

Average listal rating (102 ratings) 7.2  
11. Joe Strummer

Joe Strummer was amazing, as a musician but also as a person. I really respect and admire him for his attitude on life and general way of thinking. He was intelligent, witty and talented. Such a grounded person and really just a great person. He is one of the most inspiring musicians ever.

Average listal rating (553 ratings) 7.1  
12. Tilda Swinton

I am so inspired by her. She's one of my favorite people ever. She has a VERY unique look, and I love that. I just love her.

Average listal rating (4 ratings) 8.3  
13. Asa (Avain)

This dude is the greatest Finnish person ever. He's a lyrical genius and his attitude on life is admirable. He's intelligent and very aware of the state of things in our society. As a rapper he's superior to almost every rapper in Finland.

Average listal rating (4 ratings) 9.3  
14. Charlie Mcdonnell

Internet personalities don't often inspire me but when they do, they are people like Charlie McDonnell. Charlie is just a cute, nerdy yet very intelligent person. He's not afraid to be what he is (like a major Doctor Who nerd and such) and how can you not love him.

Average listal rating (397 ratings) 8.7  
15. James Stewart

Ahh. James Stewart was such a great actor. He risked his career to serve in the army. He was charming and I've loved almost every role he has done. VERY likable.

Average listal rating (852 ratings) 7.6  
16. Naomi Watts

I've seen her in various roles where she has really been extraordinary. When it comes to acting, she's not afraid to look 'ugly' (even though it's really hard to look ugly with that face but anyway). She's not too centered about her looks which is very rare I guess.

Average listal rating (682 ratings) 5.7  
17. Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson has had a big part in my life and I really admire him. He's weird, and he doesn't give a fuck. I was inspired by him when I decided not to just blend in with the rest.

Average listal rating (1174 ratings) 8.5  
18. Clint Eastwood

Suck a fucking legend. Talent, looks, diversity, charm... This guy has it. So great as an actor and a director.

Average listal rating (160 ratings) 6.5  
19. Amy Poehler

I love her. She's funny and beautiful. I love people who don't take themselves too seriously.

Average listal rating (169 ratings) 8  
20. George Carlin

Hilarious, intelligent and witty. I love his stand up and his opinions about religion. I also admire his courage.

Average listal rating (881 ratings) 7.6  
21. David Bowie

He has always been crossing the lines of gender and sexuality. And I've always liked that. On top of that, he's a great musician and very talented.

Average listal rating (12 ratings) 8.8  
22. Louis Theroux

Louis Theroux's documentaries are always interesting. He has a great view on life and I admire him for his way of thinking. For me he's also an inspiring atheist.

Average listal rating (542 ratings) 7.3  
23. Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank is great. She has done some brave choices in her roles. I mean playing a transgendered teen and a female boxer is quite brave for an actress. And I know that people think she isn't pretty enough and judge her because of that. But she has real talent and she's beautiful.

Average listal rating (382 ratings) 7.4  
24. Sam Rockwell

Such a versatile actor and also very underrated.

Average listal rating (338 ratings) 8.2  
25. Michael C. Hall

He's so great as an actor and as a person. He has done well in television but he hasn't yet been able to have that break through in films. But he's still such a great actor.

Average listal rating (272 ratings) 7.4  
26. Stephen Fry

A very funny, witty and intelligent person. I love the work that he has done, as an actor and in many documentaries.

Average listal rating (48 ratings) 8.8  
27. Monty Python

What's not to like about these guys? Their comedy is inspiring and hilarious.

Average listal rating (870 ratings) 7.2  
28. Sigourney Weaver

She's the bad ass mommy from Alien! She should be an inspiration for every woman.

Average listal rating (784 ratings) 8.7  
29. Audrey Hepburn

She was kind of a oddball of her days, and still so incredibly beautiful.

Average listal rating (1307 ratings) 7.2  
31. Uma Thurman



Since it seems like Listal has become a place filled with pictures of slutty chicks and porn stars, I wanted to make a list about people (actors, musicians, whoever) who inspire me. Not because their tits are big or because they have an amazing body. To me, they are talented and intelligent but also beautiful outside as well as on the inside.

I would also like to put one name in the description box since this guy cannot be found on Listal. And this guy is an amazing musician, a legend in the punk scene of Finland, and my one of my newest heroes; Teemu Bergman.

Like so many of my heroes and preferred men, Teemu is also a kind of mess, having had problems with drugs and alcohol (well, that's kinda common in the punk scene but anyway) but he really has accomplished so much. I love the fact that he just doesn't even try to be someone else. I agree on many of the things he has said or done and I guess I'm just a sucker for a punk rocker.

The moment I read your list description you already had my vote...I too grow tired of those sorts of people-centric lists you mentioned, which is why I mostly ignore them. Thanks for providing an alternative to that crap with some excellent choices!

Loistava, poikkeava ja persoonallinen lista - kuten tavallista.
