Douglas Wood Quotes

I feel like the point of being an artist is to have your own voice: to do it the way you would do it and not the way anyone else would do it. If you're a strong enough writer, then that voice is going to come out all the time, and I can't stop it from coming out, no matter what I do.

There's no way to describe what I do. It's just me.

Everything I do with BLK DNM is more personal than anything I have done before. I've worked hard to go deeper in my true intuition, and therefore I am definitely more pure in my personal taste than ever.

I've learnt that I've had the best results from just trying to be me, trying to make a movie or TV show I want to see or write a script I want to read, and that's really all I can offer - being authentic.

Sometimes, there's a preconceived notion of how a scene or how a work should be delivered. And I see young performers sometimes try and deliver that, and it's not really true to their voice or who they are.

The whole point in developing your own style is to find your own voice.

Hollywood, young or otherwise, is a very trend-driven town, and that can get a little out of hand at times. I just try to stay true to my own personal taste - incorporating my personality while not taking myself too seriously.

The reason I put make-up on or wear the costume is to try and find my own style. It's like my guitar style - I'm just trying to be an original artist.

The fact that I could sing in a way that might not be right for RADA but is right for me was a brand-new concept.

I had to find my own language in jewelry. That was important to me; it really had to be what I would love to have myself.

But at a certain point, you have to take your influence and find your own voice if you want to become a relevant artist.

I never tried to sing like anybody else, fortunately I didn't sound like anybody else. It just happened.

I watch clothes on other people, and it's like having a conversation before opening your mouth. For me, clothes come from the mind. They represent what's happening inside, and as long as they feel honestly like what I'm thinking about and going toward, I'm happy to bounce around and experience different things.

It's about being creative and drawing on who you are when you wake up, and expressing yourself through fashion.

I can only say that I myself wrote always as I wished, without a tremendous desire to find the latest thing possible.

People often say, 'You don't go to fashion shows? What kind of photographer are you? What the hell is the wrong with you, man?' But that's what I need in order to be who I am.

At WSX I think I was very much trying to figure it out on my own and we were creating our own style and our own thing. I can only speak for myself, I was not trying to be anything. I was not trying to be like anyone else.

I'm now able to show who I am as an artist.

My style is raw; my style is '95. My style is what I live. My style is my story.

As a performer, the thing you want the most is to be your authentic self.

To me, design is very personal. I'm not one of those people who is like, 'This is right, this is wrong.' You should do things that you love, not things that magazines tell you to do.

I think you just have to be yourself instead of catering your sound to a specific audience, make the music you want to make, and the audience will find you.
