We always push the boundaries on the styles we put on a record.
Style is the most valuable asset of the modern artist. That’s probably why so many styles are reported lost or stolen each year.
I don’t repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I’d rather surprise people.
I always play so many different styles that I don’t think anything I do surprises anyone.
I am certain that most composers today would consider today’s music to be rich, not to say confusing, in its enormous diversity of styles, technical procedures, and systems of esthetics.
There’s so many different styles to it. I use my athletic ability to create shots for open people, I run the floor, then also space the floor as well. That’s what I try to do.
It’s great to see Latino music coming to the mainstream, but at the same time, there are also a lot more styles to explore: African music, Indian music, Chinese music.
I’m not an early adopter. I’ll only start wearing new styles of clothing once they’re practically out of date, and I won’t move into a neighborhood until it’s fully saturated with upscale coffee shops.
I take in a lot of different styles when I listen to music, but when I’m actually writing a song it comes from a very stripped back place that focuses on melody and soaring choruses that lift-off.
AJ Styles was a model for me, Chris Hero was a model for me, and to now realize that I am becoming that some mould is humbling.
First of all, I’m a performer, so people really want to see my performance in different styles and genres. We tried to do hip-hop and EDM, and very energetic performances through ‘Camo,’ ‘Nega Dola,’ and ‘One Shot, Two Shot.’
Queen has always been my favorite band. Freddie is the greatest singer, ever, is the way I look at it. The other thing about Queen for me is they embraced so many different styles.
I have three styles. One is my Hypebeast tomboy look, which is pretty much my everyday look.
I grew up in the same place as my mother, seeing the same trees my mother saw when she was at work; the flowers I picked were the flowers that my grandma planted. We have different styles; I wouldn’t make the same clothes that my mum made, or my grandma, but we have the same taste.
We can never achieve perfect football at Bayern because the game is always changing. There are always new influences and different styles.
2NE1 was special because we each had different characters and styles, for individual tastes.
I definitely am a performer, and there are different styles of stand-up; I mean, some people are writers and they get onstage to get jokes out, and that’s definitely not what I do. I like to just go up and, if I’m telling a story about someone, I’ll play his or her part.
Here’s the thing… when people start making music, they start borrowing styles from other people, because that’s what you do. You start by recreating hip-hop beats you’ve heard from other people, or you start mimicking other people, or you’re just listening to stuff.
I really wanted the first record to be different from what I’d done with Genesis, so we were trying to do things in different styles.
How it’s been with me, it doesn’t really matter what kind of music it is as long as it’s good and catchy and I enjoy it. That’s why I know all these different styles of music, just because it’s fun. Whatever is good, I like it.
Working with my husband, I thought we would be at each other. As close as we are, our styles are so different. But it didn’t happen – we were surprised.
When I lived in the U.K., I recorded a lot of ska and rock-steady styles of Jamaican music. But people there weren’t accepting it. So I began using a faster reggae beat.
I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.
The whole musical institution of the church involves a lot of different styles of communication at the same time. Things like call and response. Sometimes they use the music to pray and work things out. And there’s so much repetition in gospel, it’s like churning butter.
Voice work is really fun and challenging. I like learning different skills and different styles, and this is definitely different from doing a play or a filmed TV show.
I’m about as monolingual as you come, but nevertheless, I have a variety of different languages at my command, different styles, different ways of talking, which do involve different parameter settings.
Definitely my sister Anusha, she has always had beautiful thick hair that grows really fast and always shines! No matter how much she colors or styles it always has this great healthy look and feel! Best hair in the biz for sure, but don’t tell her I said that.
What’s amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.

Designing and creating dance clothes has taken my love for dancewear to a whole other level, melding the creative process with my daily fashion and allowing me to bring my most dreamed-about ballet styles to life.
If we’re talking about guys who set the tone, you’ve got to go way back. But if we’re talking about guys who made it possible for guys like A.J. Styles, Shawn Michaels kind of opened that door, along with Daniel Bryan.
I’ve certainly never liked the idea of being put in a box. I loved being part of shows like ‘American Idiot’ and ‘In the Heights,’ and I take pride in being able to sing different styles, not just ‘Old Man River.’
Music and fashion have to have their own styles. It’s a must.
I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years, both as a player and a vocalist, particularly the jazz and pop of the early 20th Century.
I always write tons of different styles.
I’ve always been a mystery fan. My very first grown-up book, I distinctly remember going to the library and my mom helping me pick out an Agatha Christie book. I was in fifth grade or something and very proud of being in the adult fiction aisles. I tore through ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles.’
I spent a few years here in Memphis, in the late ’70s and early ’80s, where I was studying a lot of country blues players and their styles. So it seems like every record I’ll do, I will appropriate these blues styles that I remember.
We put too much on contemporary dancers. A lot of them cannot change styles; a lot of them can’t do anything else other than run around the stage reaching and stretching in anguish to somebody off camera that I never understand who it is. But it’s the teenage angst they have to live with.
Each script has its own calligraphic and cultural history. It is more a question of matching different calligraphic styles to one another, without the features of one script dominating another.
Everything I do, I want to be A.J. Styles. When you see a guy come out with dry, long hair, I want you to be like, ‘Hey, that reminds me of A.J. Styles.’ That’s what I want.
I pretty much focus on all the main styles out there, karate, wrestling, boxing, jiujitsu, just pretty much anything within MMA.

Lovers come back. Styles come back. But time? It never comes back.
My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don’t think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we’ll see where my career goes.
‘Nuyorican Soul’ has a lot to do with our lives, growing up in New York, listening to all different styles of music, hanging out with all different kinds of people.
I hope to have more than one main weapon. I have the Phenomenal Forearm as we’re calling it now, the Calf Crusher – the Styles Clash is still available. I like to have a lot of alternative moves to hit people with, and whatever seems to work is what I’ll go with.
I like to try all kinds of styles so it always challenges me and forces me to try to look different.
The Internet has given us 10 or 15 new styles of communication: long messages like blogging, and then short messages like texting and tweeting. I see it all as part of an expanding array of linguistic possibilities.
AJ Styles is of a different genre, and he’s a wonderful part of wrestling, doing things that a lot of guys can’t do.
When I speak of artistic universals, I am not denying the enormous role played by culture. Obviously culture plays a tremendous role, otherwise you wouldn’t have different artistic styles – but it doesn’t follow that art is completely idiosyncratic and arbitrary, either, or that there are no universal laws.
I enjoy all aspects of singing and I’m luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.
‘Love Will Keep Us Together’ was a combination of three different singing styles – Al Green, the Beach Boys, and Diana Ross. I loved all these people, and I put their singing styles together and wrote that tune.
