Do you idolize people?

The Beatles. Each of them, in turn.

I'm also quite obsessed with various Nazis, although I don't idolise them, obviously. I have desires to find out more about people. The political structure of the Nazi party was large enough for me to have hours to spend researching them. I intend to branch out into the communist USSR once I've got as far as I can with the Nazi's.

yes iddolize people i know like grady mckinnon for his determation on a skateboard and how is is always up to go to skate parks with me even tho he's a bit better then me, i admire matt patafe whoes soon to be pro when i was at the skate park with freinds and my camara man went to get battries at wal mart he got back and all the kids left exept matt patafe he was so decated he was still skating in the setting almost dark sun/sky now he's so good he won't even skate with me cuz he is sponcerd but i respet him. i also look up to dylan price even tho he quit skateboarding, he still water skies and wakeboards( something i don't do) and is pretty good and surfs when he can wants to get good i am in to sufring but never get a chance to do it = get good so i resept him giving up skating to pusure something diffreant and cool like surfing, i also like my future possable bmx crew leader kyle bertand he and i have ridden park a few times and we will probally be part up a bmx crew for street riding andi wanna learn stuff from a sick bmxer like him. i also rode park with kieran mckinnon once he had a downhill bike but usally bmxes he was exparimenting with a new bike i like his detamtation and how he was trying to help me get better.

Jack white.

Most talented musician around in a while, not just with guitar but with marketing, production and creating a gimmick for The White Stripes that's not pretentious or just plain dumb.

Yeah...besides The 20's, The White Stripes are my special interest.

I idolize myself.

I pretty much adore Temple Grandin and D'Arcy Wretzky.

I idolize Tim Burton, his right-hand man Johnny Depp and his would-be wife Helena Bonham Carter.

But see, I have a tendency to put people I admire on a pedestal and expect them to be "perfect". My idea of "perfect" is the way my parents are - married to a single person their entire lives, no tattoos, no premarital sex or children out of wedlock. Given the nature of the relationships of Depp, Burton and Boham Carter, I was disappointed in them. It was almost as if they had let me down. It was in that moment that I came to the realization that no one is "perfect", not even my own parents (for other reasons).

I remember once that a therapist told me to stop looking for "perfect" people, because I would find no one to live up to such high standards other than Jesus. It's only now that I realize how true that is.

That being said, I still admire my three favorite celebrities despite what I perceive to be their flaws, and I'll stand by them no matter what. Still, I wouldn't want to get to know them personally, because I am unsure if they live up to their images in their everyday lives, and I want to keep envisioning them in my mind the way they come across in their movies.

I've never (and probably will never) idolized or admired anyone. I've honesty never found any reason to, even as a child. Crushes I've had but that's about as close as I get. A lot of people have done some great things in their lives and I respect them for it but I don't strive to be like anyone but myself because anything else would be a lie

Mick Avory, the original Kinks drummer is my idol, hands down. I'm going to be honest, from this point, on. No more sugar coating the truth.

I used to idolize Stanley Kubrick after I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, however; I've recently developed a stronger and more mature admiration for him based on the stylistic techniques he employs in his films. I even appreciate films which I regard as his lesser efforts (Full Metal Jacket).

I idolize people based on the strength of their character, not on their status in society.
