"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."

When responding to this question, it is best to use a person that inspires you that is not a political or religious figure. The interviewers may have different viewpoints, and you want to avoid upsetting the interview panel.
