I knew David Lynch going to television was going to be something. It was either going to not work, nobody was going to get it and it would disappear, or it was going to be something special and really stand out.
I help design my own tennis clothes.
I felt Michael Jackson was inspired a little bit more from the elegance of a Fred Astaire. Michael loved Sammy Davis, Jr. and James Brown and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. But he wasn't any of those people. To be inspired is one thing, but he made it all his own.
I don't know, I really try not to pay attention to comparisons, 'cause I'm my own artist. I try to build my own sound.
I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something.
Steve Vai had a unique style of playing. Steve Vai didn't sound like anyone else: Steve Vai sounded like Steve Vai.
I have my own batting style and don't want to be compared with Kohli.
When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.
If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.'
This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.
I don't wanna be like everybody else, I don't wanna rap like everybody else.
I think not having come from the DJ world was an asset to me at first because I didn't have some of the habits other DJs had, and I think in a way that set me apart.
You have to understand your own personal DNA. Don't do things because I do them or Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban tried it. You need to know your personal brand and stay true to it.
I don't have the kind of style that I feel like would serve any and everyone.
I'd call my work 'instinctual design.' I like to find the spirit of a piece that defies time, age, and occasion. My clothes give the wearer the chance to develop their own voice within a wardrobe, and I think of them as curators of their personal style.
I never claimed to be a generic artist, period. I never wanted to be a generic artist.
One of the things that made Bob so unique and wonderful is that he had a genuine style, like Balanchine, like de Mille.
I made the tenor sax - there's nobody plays like me and I don't play like anybody else.
I think it's important to have your own individual style and sense of self. It's kind of what I do.
Dani Alves is a special player, in my opinion.
You can't just copy someone. There are so many different styles that you can just kind of pick and choose whatever it is you'd like to do.
Earth, Wind & Fire was something new. I wanted to bring something innovative to the music. It was out of a desire to create excitement with music that was pleasurable to play and listen to.
Every day, I have a parcel waiting for me at home because I have shopped something, as I have physically stopped going to places to shop. I don't shop from malls because the stuff there is very common. I like to be unique and different.
No, I don't think I have the same body type as the other models in shows. No, I don't think I am the best at any given show. Yes, I want a unique walk, but I also know I have to improve.
I want to evolve each season. I never want to be one of those brands where people know what they're going to see. I always want an element of surprise. One thing I never want to do is copy what anybody else is doing. I have a signature, and it's very important to me to stay true to that.
