It's important for an artist to realize his own style. Copying or letting yourself be influenced by another's work is good for a start, just don't let yourself get stuck with it. Try to evolve and develop your own. Broadening your knowledge in other mediums is important in acquiring inspiration. - Arnold Arre I could not sit seriously down to write a serious Romance under any other motive than to save my life, & if it were indispensable for me to keep it up & never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter. No - I must keep my own style & go on in my own way; and though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other. - Jane Austen The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognizes neither pity nor pitilessness. - John Berger I have no models i...

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original. - Aaliyah In a newspaper, you only have so much room. It teaches you the value of getting to the point, of not pampering yourself with your glorious writing. I've always been much more interested in one powerful sentence that stays with you. That's my style. - Mitch Albom (paraphrased from Tim Powers) My style might seem awkward, but I'm only trying to write down the things in the scene that I think the reader should know. - Ernest Hemingway I sometimes think my style is suggestive rather than direct. The reader must often use his imagination or lose the most subtle part of my thought. - Ernest Hemingway I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don't take it too seriously. - Mariah Carey I demand that my books be judged with utmost severity, by knowledgeable people who know the rules of gr...

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. - Jackie Collins People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody. - Elvis Presley

I do care about style. I do care, but I only care about style that serves the subject. - Richard Attenborough I didn't know a damn thing about style. - Michael Bergin For me, music and life are all about style. - Miles Davis It's wrong for a guy to have no personality, no heart. Because I don't care about style or money. - Adriana Lima Forget about style; worry about results. - Bobby Orr I've always described my taste in fashion and music as being very eclectic and uniquely based off my feelings that day. That's the wonderful thing about style. You can be whatever you want to be. You can describe yourself however you want to describe yourself. - Hayden Panettiere 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. - John Sayles I've come up with another formulation about style: that it's essentially a manife...
