198
What I think of as style – and I’ve gotten to this over years of really thinking about it – is that style is the unconscious choices I make.
John Corigliano
199
To me, the Seventies were very inspirational and very influential… With my whole persona as Snoop Dogg, as a person, as a rapper. I just love the Seventies style, the way all the players dressed nice, you know, kept their hair looking good, drove sharp cars and they talked real slick.
200
The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

207
Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.
208
I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you’re never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style. It’s in the spirit of it.
209
It’s true that I tend to daydream. I’m the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It’s my style.
Gordon Getty
210
I use every kind of emotion in my wrestling, so that’s why people call me the ‘King of Strong Style.’
211

212
As the director of an opera, it is my responsibility to unify the style of the particular performance, but one can certainly approach the piece from different points of view. That’s what makes it interesting and keeps it alive.
Sarah Caldwell
213
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
214
Tupac is my favorite artist, and he had mad style.
215

Emile Zola
216
Style is something very individual, very personal, and in their own unique way, I believe everyone is stylish.
217
I’m not sure how to describe my style. A lot of my work is dark and looks a bit sad, which is strange because I’m such a smiley, over-the-top positive guy who wears gold shoes most days.
Aaron Huey
218
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
219
I’ve determined my style – I like to call it elegant funk. You’ll see me in some really beautiful gowns but I’ll still have my septum piercing in.
220
Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing. Onstage, I do a little smokier, a little more contouring, but I still always want to be an approachable and real artist, so I never try to go overboard.
221
Fashion needs incredible women, alive, stimulating, with style like Diana Vreeland. She is the most. The way she talks expresses all her values.
Gianni Versace
222

George Plimpton
224

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.
Bruce Lee
227
So I always respected the guys who were trying to do it on their own without taking a handout from a big organization. They were trying to create their own thing, the DIY style, which is sort of always been my style, kind of a makeshift survival mode and really just kind of forging your own path.
228
If you are confident about yourself and wear what you love, you will exude a style of your own.
229
I think the cool thing about snowboarding is that everyone has their own style.
230
I’ve always loved fashion, but I think that right now, it’s hit its peak – I’m just so obsessed with clothes and paying attention to brands and collections. I guess 16 is kind of the age when you start to develop opinions on all that and knowing what suits your style.
231
My mother has always been my style icon.
Tridha Choudhury
232
But even gold is not everything: and only a fanatic, and a rather foolish fanatic, would say that this style of fiction summed up and exhausted all the good that fiction could give and do.
George Saintsbury
233
Just find what works for you, what style suits you best, and just be confident enough to rock it.
234
I love sneakers on a girl. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s because I’m still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style – a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she’s wearing and works what she’s got.
235
I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.
John Sebastian
236
I think she has more gospel style than I do. I think I’m more, umm, you know mainstream I guess. I don’t know if we split the vote. That could be possible but I don’t think we are the same at all.
237
Not only the style, but the way in which you don’t exactly know what on earth has happened or is happening till about page two hundred – then it all becomes apparent in a blinding flash.
Nicholas Mosley
238

241
It is the style of idealism to console itself for the loss of something old with the ability to gape at something new.
242

243
Everybody has their own way and signature style to play the game.
244
My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview – how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.
245
Brazil has people in some places with so difficult situations. They prefer to smile than cry because they love life. They love to be happy. That’s Brazilian style.
246
I had read the novel and I had heard David Lean was going to direct it – and it came as a surprise to me because American actors, if given the chance, can do style as well as anybody and speak as well as anybody.
247
Deity‘ will be a compelling and exciting thriller with complex and interesting characters. A neo-realistic style to story and images will take the audience deep into Calcutta’s many different levels. A fascinating clash between American and Indian culture.
Niels Arden Oplev
248
The style of the Bible in general is singularly adapted to men of every class and grade of culture, affording the child the simple nourishment for its religious wants, and the profoundest thinker inexhaustible matter of study.
Philip Schaff
249
I treat the photograph as a work of great complexity in which you can find drama. Add to that a careful composition of landscapes, live photography, the right music and interviews with people, and it becomes a style.
250
You’ve got to admire Sir Richard Branson. He is a completely different style of businessman to me, but you have got to admire what he has achieved.

Robert Mankoff
252
A lot of times you get people writing wonderful sentences and paragraphs, and they fall in love with their prose style, but the stories really aren’t that terrific.
253
Too many jazz pianists limit themselves to a personal style, a trademark, so to speak. They confine themselves to one type of playing.

Milton Berle
255
What happens with a lot of leaders is that their leadership style is like ADD; they are all over the place with different ideas. They could be driving one idea forward but then move on to something else too soon.
256
Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.
257
The bravest person I’ve ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.
258
I think the work that they do and the style of 3D graphics is absolutely fabulous and I think it’s a great brush to use for some stories. And there are other brushes that I think are exclusive to a different kind of story.
259
I definitely try to keep some level of style on my days off because you never know who’s going to snap your picture.

260

261
Michelle Obama blows my mind. Form and function, style and grace.
Bellamy Young
262
It’s either you finna create your own wave, you finna sound like me or you finna sound like G Herbo, you finna sound like Chance The Rapper, you finna sound like Juice Wrld. You ain’t gonna get too far ’cause you sound like somebody. So, create your own lane and do your own style.
263
I was a fan of DMC but I was captivated by Run’s style, I wanted to be the man. As a kid, when somebody got that kinda influence over a child… you know how strong that can be.
Pimp C
264
I would describe my style as comfortable and casual.
265
I have nothing bad to say about Briedis. His style is a bit boring, but I respect him. Briedis is a world champion, so he has to be good.
266
That was certainly true the first time, when I did Body Heat, the first movie that I directed. I was looking for a vessel to tell a certain kind of story, and I was a huge fan of Film Noir, and what I liked about it was that it was so extreme in style.
267
For the moment, the snow is quite wet and soft. If it was hard or icy, it would be a perfect downhill for my style, because I could fight even harder.
268
I mean, as long as it doesn’t have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.
269
I’ve come up with another formulation about style: that it’s essentially a manifestation of a certain habitual set of limitations. It’s what a composer does NOT do that defines a style.
James Tenney
270
My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I’ll be moody and just wear black.
271
Men with style are great because they have a sense of self.
Lexa Doig
272
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn’t enable you to do that. It wasn’t my style.
273
Ever since I can remember, the idea of ‘style’ has been really intriguing to me, and I’ve always made a point to wear clothes that make me stand out and represent my personality.

276
Obviously, everyone needs to find a system and playing style that suits you more.
277
I feel like my style’s always been influenced by ‘less is more.’ The coolest styles are kind of simple and classic, like a white T-shirt and jeans. Maybe you have a cool belt and cool shoes, but everything else you keep simple.
278
Leadership is an intense journey into yourself. You can use your own style to get anything done. It’s about being self-aware. Every morning, I look in the mirror and say, ‘I could have done three things better yesterday.’
279
Every guy has his own style and his own way of sharing his feelings and love for a woman. Who am I to judge whether it’s right or wrong?
280

281
I represent and defend my style.
282
It’s not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip, or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept.
283
I hope I’ve lived a life of science whose style will encourage younger people.
284
Trying to write books with a subject matter or in a genre or style you’re not familiar with is the best way to find the Big Block looming.
285
I want to give haute couture a kind of wink, a sense of humour – to introduce the whole sense of freedom one sees in the street into high fashion; to give couture the same provocative and arrogant look as punk – but, of course, with luxury and dignity and style.
286
I have eclectic taste, and I love vintage style mixed with glamour and old world charm.
287
I had imagined doing nuclear physics and cosmic ray work in greater style in peace time. To do modern physics in a small way is of no use of all.

Colors and prints are part of my style.
289
Populism is not a style, it’s a people’s rebellion against the iron grip that big corporations have on our country – including our economy, government, media, and environment.
290
I’ve got uncles who wore garish stuff, you know, electric blue polyester suits, and they carried it off. But my dad never went down that path, he has never been into loud stuff. His style was fashionable, but never sharp.
291
Every time I bought someone’s album, it was about the connection. I was loving everything, from their raps to their style. I wanted to meet them.
292
Most style is not honest enough.
F. L. Lucas
293
My style is pretty clean, classic, and elegant, with some elements to make it a little funkier. If you see me on a normal day, I’m usually in a T-shirt and jeans, maybe with some cool sneakers, but I’m pretty basic.
294
Don’t get me wrong, I think bikes are terrific. I own several of my own, including a trendy mountain style, and ride them for pleasure and light exercise.
Brock Yates
295

299
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
300
There’s a particular style that is very Peru that you don’t see anywhere else; it’s got so many different imprints. When you mix Incan minimalism with the heavy, ornate Spanish Baroque, it is very interesting.
301
When I first started out, I was really attracted to having my own sense of style because I started swing dancing, lindy hop, and jitterbug.
302

303
I never regarded my pictures as very much to be proud of, except in this, the craft, the style.
304
Why did they keep changing guitars and amplifiers when they were perfect? They did the same things with cars, if you ask me. They forgot how to make them right, because they focused on style and bells and whistles.
Buddy Guy
305
Great personal style is an extreme curiosity about yourself.
306
Ever since I was a teenager, I always had a very strong sense of my own personal style. Kind of for better or for worse – actually I don’t think it’s ever been for worse. The way that I dress has always been a pretty accurate reflection of my personality and my life.
307
I write lustily and humorously. It isn’t calculated; it’s the way I think. I’ve invented a writing style that expresses who I am.
308
Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing – these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.
309
Oprah Winfrey is a big role model for me from a business capacity and a creative capacity. She is an incredible interviewer who cultivated a certain style by inserting her own personhood into a show on national television at a time when no one was talking about empowerment, spirituality, or our inner lives.
310
I prepare my style of biriyani by sauting sliced onion, tomato, green chilli, ginger garlic and add required water and rice. If I end up adding a tad too much of salt, I used to add curd to balance it.
311
As artists, we have to change our style to match each concept. We’re always changing, ever changing.
312
Style is primarily a matter of instinct.
Bill Blass
313
In essence, the optimistic style involves taking credit for successes but little blame for failures.
314
For good or for ill, Britain is in some respects moving away from a prime-ministerial system towards a presidential one. This is emphatically not, as is sometimes argued, simply a function of Tony Blair‘s personal ambition. The shift towards a more presidential style was already visible under Margaret Thatcher.
315
My interviewing style and my approach to things is that, yes, it’s okay to be sincere; it’s okay to be yourself; it’s okay to be real.
316
The biggest criticism would be buying clothes that are too big or trying too hard. I tend to like things a little leaner and more formfitting. I believe personal style often outweighs fashion. Just be yourself.
Simon Spurr
317
My personal style: trenches, high-waisted pants, pantsuits, silks.
318
I would say that the surest measure of a man’s or a woman’s maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
319
In terms of the production, the style I use is what I see as the ‘Lisa Stansfield sound’ and I would hope that when anyone puts on one of my songs they don’t even have to listen to my voice to know this is a Lisa Stansfield song, because of the way it sounds.
320
I have no requirements for a style of architecture.
321
I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play, and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.
322
Trends come and go, and style evolves. It’s important to have pieces of jewelry that are timeless and look chic despite ever-changing fashions.
323
I thought that Wu-Tang was the best sword style – the best sword-style of martial arts. And the tongue is like a sword. And so I say that we have the best lyrics, so, therefore, we are the Wu-Tang Clan.
324
I get involved in the political, but I don’t bring it to the stage because that’s not my style.
325
All my editors since Malcolm Cowley have had instructions to leave my prose exactly as I wrote it. In the days of Malcolm Cowley, with ‘On the Road’ and ‘The Dharma Bums‘, I had no power to stand by my style for better or for worse.
326
I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.
327
When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.
328
Hollywood style means classic glamour. My reference is the 1940s through the 1960s.
329
Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you’ve done in your life and write about that.
330
Style is timeless. It transcends generations – it’s enduring. If you’re thinking about fashion, it’s of the moment. And that doesn’t mean that it’s not important at times to embrace trends and that type of thing, but style is less about trends than it is about how you carry yourself.
331
My best piece of style advice is to keep your wardrobe small and love everything in it.
332
My style of play has always been ‘Guardiola style,’ so I’ve not had too many problems. At the same time, he helps you to evolve and to change little things, because it’s obviously not exactly the same style of play as at Bilbao.
333
I would never look a gift horse in the mouth. I’ve had some lovely homemade earrings and, recently, a wall hanging made in the style of Georges Seurat.
334
Our modern world, though infinitely more complex than that of ancient Greece, is also far more superficial. Where the Greeks offered simple psychological training, we live in an age of style and spin in which perceptions of good and evil slither and shift with the political view of the moment.
David Gemmell
335
Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.
Nelson Goodman
336
Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.
337
The trick is to find the style that is right for you. When it comes to trying new clothes, my advice is not to take it too seriously – it’s all about having fun.
338
Peter, of the three of us, was our prince. He seemed so timeless. He had such elan and style.

341

342
We’re starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations, and you can also have your own style, personality and sense of humor, because now we’re allowed to.
Lisa Guerrero
343
Real cultural diversity results from the interchange of ideas, products, and influences, not from the insular development of a single national style.
344
It’s important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn’t only what you wear, it’s what you project.

Billy Sheehan
346
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
347
I feel like I created my own sound and style.
Lil Mosey
348
Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities, a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say and it’s true, I do have a certain fondness for women that have dark hair.
349
I call my design style rustically modern. I like to take traditional or rustic features and fuse it into a more modern design.
350
Endeavour to be faithful, and if there is any beauty in your thought, your style will be beautiful; if there is any real emotion to express, the expression will be moving.
351
I style myself and choose what to wear based on what I feel good in it.
352
One thing that I think never goes out of style is just purity. Niceness and purity. And the Muppets have never lost that. Kermit especially is just wide-eyed wonder, unblinking. And he can’t blink. Which I think probably helps.
353
Swagger‘ would be the word for ‘Dirt On My Boots.’ With the real funky drum loop and the ganjo rolling down, and then the fiddles and the guitar and steel, it really took an old school style where it’s fiddle, steel, guitar, and mixed it with a drum loop.
354
The style of an author should be the image of his mind, but the choice and command of language is the fruit of exercise.
355
Once you’ve done one style, you leave it for a while.
356
Leopard print has been my thing forever! When I was a teenager my entire room was done in leopard print – it’s timeless, chic, and always in style. When in doubt… leopard!
357
It was really terrific but Foreigner was nothing like Yes and that style did not suit our music.
Lou Gramm
358
European style is classic, with its own color, and to me, it always feels chic.
359
I’m a martial artist. I’ve boxed all my life. I work out. I studied Hwarangdo, which is a Korean style.

If you’re going to do something, do it with style!
361
The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex.
362
I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist’s early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.
Irvin Kershner
363
I like Lil Wayne‘s style. His style probably influences me the most. Basically, he’s just wearing exactly what he feels like wearing. He goes to the club, and he’s got shorts and a wife-beater on. That shows you what type of celebrity he is and what he is able to pull off, fashion-wise. I try to be in that same lane.
Von Miller
364
I have my own batting style and don’t want to be compared with Kohli.
365
You could argue that ‘Sweeney Todd’ was romantic, if you looked closely at it, but it didn’t impart that to its audiences. But it’s large, and it’s melodramatic, and it’s a style I like to work in periodically.
366
Pharrell has definitely influenced my style in regards to streetwear. Simply because we’re from that era that Nigo and A Bathing Ape started. That’s where it all started at for us.
367
Good grooming is integral and impeccable style is a must. If you don’t look the part, no one will want to give you time or money.
368
I was immersed in popular songs of the time, of the ’30s and ’40s. I was writing songs, making fun of the attitudes of those songs, in the musical style of the songs themselves; love songs, folk songs, marches, football.
369
Billy Wilder is really is a heavy influence on Bound. We felt that film noir was a genre where you could create a really contained story. We wanted to be on a set as much as we could to get the kind of style level we were looking for.
Lana Wachowski
370
Jackie Kennedy was the most appropriately dressed first lady we’ve ever had. You can see how lasting Jackie’s style is.
371
I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.
Trevor Dunn
372
Yeah, it’s more like playing what you think is appropriate for the moment. It’s not about trying to force any particular style within the parameters – and the parameters we play in are pretty large!
373
The style depends on the subject.
374
That was one of the big problems when I was at Harvard studying music. We had to write choral pieces in the style of Brahms or Mendelssohn, which was distressing because in the end you realized how good Brahms is, and how bad you are.
375
My style is confrontational: when I see evil, I want to remove it right away.
376
London style is individual.
377
Television preachers extract money from the poor to live in a style and to indulge in shameful acts which equal or outdo the worst of the Renaissance Popes.
J. Irwin Miller
378
Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.
379
As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it’s about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that’s completion.
380
My style is mainly about comfort. It has to be comfortable, it has to lay right on me, know what I mean?
381
It’s a new era in fashion – there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
382
You know this old style of American family series? Well, I sit there and cry.

My style reflects my mood, the place I’m in, and the place I’m going to.
Lindsey Wixson
384
I like bootcut jeans in a plain style with a nice line.
385
I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.
386
When I arrived, I didn’t understand London customers perfectly, but we’ve developed the right style with the right price, and step by step, I’m in harmony with London.
387
The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.
John Scott
388
I’ve propelled myself into the media world and I’ve been able to get my style of cooking across with my personality.
389
But I had two very special people who helped to take my style to the next level. Thank God for my first MC Cowboy and my first student Grand Wizard Theodore, and to go out after creating this art form and finding everyone jamming to it – that too was pretty scary.
390
Picking my topics is sort of a process of elimination for me. Most things don’t work for me. I like to cover science and unexpected things happening in labs. Also, theoretical research doesn’t work for my style. I need scenes and interactions. Then, humor. I’m having the most fun when I can have fun with my work.
391
I tried to work with a record label; I tried to work with a booking agency, variety shows. I went to Vegas. I just tried everything I could think of, and nothing took. No one thought there was a place for my style and my music; it was just too different.
392
I bring the funk. It’s a different style.
393
Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it’s all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.
Samuel Fuller
394
Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.
Andre Malraux
395
I started, whenever I got to a city, just getting on Style Seat, which is the most incredible app for any girl who doesn’t have 100 stylists at her fingertips. I can see who’s well-rated and whose portfolio I like, and then book an appointment all from my phone, which made having bangs a lot easier.
396
I think of ‘Mommy‘ as very simplistic or not simplistic, but I wish for the style to actually work with what you see onscreen and what you feel in that very moment. I hope we did not disrespect the characters by being too flamboyant when it’s not necessary.
397
Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions.
398
What you write sets the visual style for the film. But you have to compromise your style in your first few films before people let you do what you want to do.
399
My style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.
400
Every director has their own unique working style.
401
I never thought about being a writer as I grew up. A writer wasn’t something I wanted to be. An outfielder was something to be. Most of what I know about style I learned from Roberto Clemente.
402
Dominick Cruz is a great opponent, he has an amazing style.
403
A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.
404
From childhood my mother had me examining Robert Mapplethorpe’s style and Egon Schiele’s framing – that’s what modelling is about.
405
Style and Structure are the essence of a book; great ideas are hogwash.
406
There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art, you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant, style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.
407
When I signed for Barca, I knew their playing style was suited to my game.
408
I do not create a fashionable aesthetic… I create a style based on life.
409
My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.
410
Our fashion style is very legendary and very classic. I feel like it’s different, and I feel like everybody got our own different style to bring to the table.
411
I like to have long shorts, not really high, but very long, you know, almost to my knee. I like when it’s a bit baggy. I prefer that kind of style.
412
I would describe my style as refreshing.
413
The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.
414
Rock and roll is not an instrument. Rock and roll isn’t even a style of music. Rock and roll is a spirit that’s been going since the blues, jazz, bebop, soul, R&B, heavy metal, punk rock and, yes, hip-hop.
MC Ren
415
Climbing is more of an art than a sport. It’s the aesthetics of a mountain that compels me. The line of a route, the style of ascent. It is creative.
416
Ned made a tremendous rattling, at which Bullet took fright, broke his bridle, and dashed off in grand style; and would have stopped all farther negotiations by going home in disgust, had not a traveller arrested him and brought him back; but Kit did not move.
Augustus Baldwin Longstreet
417
For example I don’t work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They’re different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you don’t impose that on the actors.
418
We mostly feel fearful because we feel powerless. We feel powerless, I contend, because of a style of thinking that splits information in two poles that makes us lose all the operative information we need to solve the problem.
Patricia Sun
419
I like working with south Indian directors because they are very disciplined. They visualize their entire story and screenplay in their heads even before they start shooting, which I respect. They finish their work on time. Being a disciplinarian myself, this suits my style.
420
And I learned a lot from working with this kid, and I think he’s gonna be a big star. Remember the name, Tim Dark, because he has something about his voice that’s different from all the other rappers, even though his style is similar.
421
Style is whatever you want to do, if you can do it with confidence.
422
The imaginations of believers have dressed up and exaggerated the excellence of the style and matter of the New Testament generally, in the same manner, in which they have the moral instructions of Jesus.
423
Washington, D.C., had never seen my style of politics.
Marion Barry
424
I’m not a fan of gushing emotions. I think that probably shows in all of the characters I play. I try to reinterpret the characters in my style.
425
It is hardly surprising that the Georgian domestic style emerges as the most remarkable in the world.
426
Let’s be honest: doesn’t everyone look at Ronaldo’s free kicks? I’ve looked at a lot of his technique, but I do it in my own way. I have my own style and try not to do the same.
427
My personal style is kind of tomboy-boho chic! Sort of funky but simple.
428
There are some guys you have problems beating because of their style – I always had difficulties with guys like Michael Chang and Andre Agassi because their returns were so good and they played so well in defence.
Guy Forget
429
Brazilian football has always been very much admired in Japan and, of course, after my participation and so many other Brazilians, it was like they created a new style of play in homage to Brazilian football.
430
But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style.
431
A film seeking to create change on a difficult issue should not try to provide a definitive historical overview, nor present an op-ed style argument.
Julia Bacha
432
Where questions of style and exposition are concerned I try to follow a simple maxim: if you can’t say it clearly you don’t understand it yourself.
John Searle
433
Comparison is a disease. I never felt any competition, since I never compared myself to others. I only focus on my work. I never feel pressurised and do films in my style. Also, I’m very active since childhood, and that gives me the edge to always put my best.
434
What moves me most is style: the quality of the writing rather than the story being told.
435
Train hard, get good coaching, and don’t forget that its mixed martial arts. Don’t get tied into one style of fighting, and focus on multiple disciplines.
436
What makes a publisher decide to market a book to a particular audience is not the subject matter but the style.
437
With ‘Brick,’ the style with language and the way it was shot was to create a world obviously elevated from the very first frame above a typical high school.
438
Style is not neutral; it gives moral directions.
439
Photography is the easiest medium with which to be merely competent. Almost anybody can be competent. It’s the hardest medium in which to have some sort of personal vision and to have a signature style.
440
Style in New York is much more accessorized and tailored and L.A. is way more flowy and day-to-evening. It is fluid and a lot of flip-flops and long skirts, which I think is great.
441
The whole idea of making ‘James‘ was to make an action film in the style of the 1970s and ’80s.
442
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.
443
Coming from art school, I had a great sense of style – as did The Beatles and the Stones – and I enjoyed projecting that. Image, attitude, great music and great lyrics – that was the ’60s.
444
A feel-good style can be a symptom of unawareness or lack of caring.
Fernando Flores
445
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank Zappa
446
I know I am not Braddock’s savior, never felt that way, and never will. There’s no ‘Rudy’ style ending waiting for me where I get carried off the field and everything turns out O.K. for me or for Braddock.
447
Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement.
448
No, because I’ve never really changed my style that much.
449
Since her landmarkTapestry,’ Carole King has both oversimplified and over elaborated that masterful album’s style until her music has become something more overtly but less effectively personal.
450
Oh, I don’t think Tom Sowell would tell anybody to join the administration. That’s not his style. But I think his attitude has always been if it had to be done he’d prefer me to do it than somebody else.
451
I don’t really have a favorite genre. I could listen to a rock song, a metal song, jazz, pop music, whatever. For me, whatever style it is, it always depends on the chord progression, the lyrics, and the melody used.
Bakermat
452
My style has changed and evolved mainly because I’ve grown to have more confidence in myself.
453
Like our juxtaposed name, Blackpink, our style is a mix of strong and powerful but also girly.
454
Stick to the classics, and you can’t ever go wrong. I see old ladies on the street who have fabulous style and realize it’s because they are probably wearing really classic items that they’ve had for years and years. I think if you find something that suits you, you should just stick to it.
455
Anyone who says you can’t do anything with short hair is wrong! Every day, my style turns into something new, and there are so many different ways you can wear it.
456
Even with the ‘Top Boy’ series with Ashley Walters… I’ve been talking like on the creative direction wave with Drake about the series. Making greatness with it. The whole style of what’s going on in London, the sound, is real. It’s an actual thing that actually happened. So it deserves to be on the telly.
457
It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.
458
I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I’ll admire it but I wouldn’t copy their style.
Michael Hutchence
459
Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.
460
I like Robo Shankar – he evokes laughter, he has a unique body language and style. I loved all scenes of his in ‘Maari.’
