The interviewer is asking this question to get to know more about you and what your passion is. Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - literally anyone! Think about what or who might inspire you to be the person you are. This is a wonderful opportunity to build rapport with the hiring manager.

"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live like her as much as I can."
