Jonathan Anderson Quotes

Everything's so, like, saturated nowadays. So if you wanna, like, make an impact, you gotta do something different. Do something new.

You gotta have a gimmick.

When something works for you or another brand, ask yourself, 'Why?' Then don't copy it but think about what you can do that's unique to you and better.

Whenever I try to do something, I figure out what other people aren't doing or how can I do it different or how can I stand out.

People in the beauty community don't like copycats, so I think it's important to stay true to who you are and people will stay your customer.

Our approach is not to look at the successes of other people and try to repeat those successes. We don't look at the success of 'Grand Theft Auto 3' and think that maybe if we create games for older audiences will see a similar success.

I think you find stories with fresh perspectives, and there can be a danger in the opposite way when you start getting too cynical and things just don't start seeming like stories, and things don't seem exciting anymore.

To make a mark, you have to do something different.

Creativity is a huge part of my game as a player. It helps open doors which others don't see.

My mentally for my character is you have to be first, better, or different. I know that I'm not the best at everything; in fact, I'm not the best at a lot of things, so I'm going to be different, or I'm going to be the first one to do it.
