Chet Faker’s a reference to the late Chet Baker. I’m a big fan of his vocal style; it’s quite fragile and soft, and that was a style I wanted to take on.
For me, style is about how you feel that day and what inspires you, as well as taking chances and making mistakes. Everything has to be comfortable. If things are too tight or too constricting, I feel out of my element.
A film seeking to create change on a difficult issue should not try to provide a definitive historical overview, nor present an op-ed style argument.

The Stockholm street style is distinctive, with ensembles that exemplify the city’s understated elegance.
Women who stay true to themselves are always more interesting and beautiful to me: women like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe and Anna Magnani – women who have style, chic, allure and elegance. They didn’t submit to any standard of beauty – they defined it.
All writers are mimics, and I’m not interested in picking up somebody else’s style or voice.
Personal style? I don’t really believe in that. Whatever is comfortable.

I was on Kanye’s Yeezus tour as a dancer, but really, I was a Vanessa Beecroft model. I was one of the three ‘dancers’ who couldn’t dance and was more of an accessory than an individual. Vanessa was pretty involved. Her style is about a lot of standing. It’s very simple but haunting.
It’s true that I tend to daydream. I’m the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It’s my style.

I’m a joker; that’s my choice. It’s my style. But I care about my life. I care about the game. I care about the people who gave me this opportunity.
It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.
Oprah Winfrey is a big role model for me from a business capacity and a creative capacity. She is an incredible interviewer who cultivated a certain style by inserting her own personhood into a show on national television at a time when no one was talking about empowerment, spirituality, or our inner lives.
I started painting graffiti in the classic New York style of big letters and characters but I was never very good at it.

The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section.
It’s not my job to try and alter the director’s style – he’s in charge, and I’ll always give him my trust.

I get involved in the political, but I don’t bring it to the stage because that’s not my style.
Style is a very personal thing and women should develop their own individual look.

My style is not specific to the antebellum South, but it’s heavily inspired by the Jim Crow era.
My friends call my style ‘old man chic.’ I wear loafers and stylish sweatpants. I love to stay comfortable, so I definitely funk it up, but I’m always comfortable. I wear lots of hats and feathers, and I kind of have a little obsession with Native American jewelry.

Serious art has been the work of individual artists whose art has had nothing to do with style because they were not in the least connected with the style or the needs of the masses. Their work arose rather in defiance of their times.
I gleaned different style ideas over the years. In Southern California, there is a big rockabilly sub-culture. So when I would go to car shows, I would see women dressed like this. I had a teacher in high school that always had her Bette Paige bangs.
‘Swagger’ would be the word for ‘Dirt On My Boots.’ With the real funky drum loop and the ganjo rolling down, and then the fiddles and the guitar and steel, it really took an old school style where it’s fiddle, steel, guitar, and mixed it with a drum loop.
In a way, I feel there’s a Carrick style of playing.
The style depends on the subject.
For my own style, I love vintage. 60’s and 70’s are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that – maybe I’ll wear it with boots. At my school we wear a uniform, but we have one day a week we can wear whatever we want.
Pharrell has definitely influenced my style in regards to streetwear. Simply because we’re from that era that Nigo and A Bathing Ape started. That’s where it all started at for us.
I think the work that they do and the style of 3D graphics is absolutely fabulous and I think it’s a great brush to use for some stories. And there are other brushes that I think are exclusive to a different kind of story.
I will run with perfect style when they start judging races for their beauty, like figure-skating. For now, I just want to run as fast as possible.
I try to play my own style.
I honestly can’t characterize my style in words. It seems that whatever comes to me naturally, I play.
My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant, and it was infectious.
I realized that every sermon I preached should be designed not to ‘teach’ or ‘convert’ people, but rather to encourage them, to give them a lift. I decided to adopt the spirit, style, strategy and substance of a ‘therapist’ in the pulpit.

That was one of the big problems when I was at Harvard studying music. We had to write choral pieces in the style of Brahms or Mendelssohn, which was distressing because in the end you realized how good Brahms is, and how bad you are.
My style of play has always been ‘Guardiola style,’ so I’ve not had too many problems. At the same time, he helps you to evolve and to change little things, because it’s obviously not exactly the same style of play as at Bilbao.
I can make rhymes. My style of writing is kind of childlike anyway.
When I got started in New York, it wasn’t like it is now. If you were different from Miles and Dizzy, it was very difficult to make gigs and make money with your own style.
I don’t have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.
I truly love ‘Gangnam Style.’ I guess it’s a meme. I feel like it’s one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.

There was a rule at Rangers, going back to the 1950s, that players needed to turn up for every training session dressed in a suit and tie. I was a teenager. You’d have been lucky to see me in a jacket even on a Sunday – it just wasn’t my style.
I have no favourite genre or style but treat each novel with the same care, imagination and craftsmanship. It’s as difficult to write a crime or a children’s novel with a touch of style and grace as it is a literary novel.
Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing. Onstage, I do a little smokier, a little more contouring, but I still always want to be an approachable and real artist, so I never try to go overboard.
