I guess it's just different with each piece that I create, and what piece for what game, but there are lots - nothing really specific. Basically, I am always looking for inspiration in different places, in all the music that I listen to - I try to find things that inspire me.

...To name names, someone that I find very inspiring and someone I admire a lot is Mr. Henry Mancini, who is a movie music composer. I really like the different genres that he's able to do, to incorporate into his music, and I really finds his melody line to be very inspirational. I would love to be able to create music on that level.
