I like guitars in the Fender style because they have skinny necks.
I am definitely not a fashionista, I can't live up to that title, I don't want to. Sometimes I look like a slob, but I wouldn't do a job if I couldn't be involved in the style and wardrobe of my character.
I love Chloe Sevigny's style - the way she manages to add a touch of rock n' roll to every look.
You can find me in the melodies, the chord progressions, the song style and structure. The lyrical places you fine me most are in the lyrics that 'show' more than 'tell.' I like to describe what the listener is seeing and let them make up the middle rather than telling them.
As for developing a writing style'I would say that I tried to copy the pacing of the old movies I loved as a kid.
When you have a beanpole body, everything looks cute. Like Alexa Chung. I like her style, but she's really tall and skinny, so everything looks good on her.
My musical style was developed basically by listening to music. The music I like helped to mold my style. I used to listen to the majority of down south music when I was a shorty coming up.
I decided to start embracing and wearing my natural hair, but there was only one problem; I didn't know what to do with it or how to style it. Growing up, all I knew was my relaxed, processed hair, so I had to go through this learning phase.
When I was younger I always wanted to dress like Kim [Kardashian], but her style doesn't necessarily fit my body type.
I love Ali MacGraw and her style - I'm into vintage '70s outfits at the moment.
Kim [Kardashian]'s style is very sexy - she loves anything tight that hugs her body - and she's also very trendy.
My body has always been one to fluctuate, and I've had to adapt my style accordingly.
Just like writers can have a lot of different styles, so can readers. It's hard to pigeonhole book buyers.
I just love music, and I'm not as genre specific as most songwriters. A lot of my buddies just listen to country, or just Americana, or whatever their style is, and I just listen to everything.
I would describe my style as off the wall. I like stuff that doesn't match. I just like to stand out.
My style has changed and evolved mainly because I've grown to have more confidence in myself.
Everyone has his own particular talent, niche and interests. Which isn't to say that you shouldn't try new genres or styles or explore forms other than the ones you're most comfortable with. But you should be willing to recognize that when writers try to make themselves into something they aren't or, more important, don't want to be ... they aren't going to be doing their best work.
It is so fascinating that someone can commit their whole entire lifestyle to being such a fantastic woman when I'm such a bum about it.
Fundamentally a good author has his or her own sense of style. There is a natural, deep voice, and that voice is present from the first draft of a manuscript. When he or she elaborates on the initial manuscript, it continues to strengthen and simplify that natural, deep voice.
It's just a favorite language to me, that country finger-picking guitar style.
In most writers, style is a welcome, an invitation, a letting down of the drawbridge between the artist and the world. Shaw had no time for such ruses. Unlike most of his countrymen, he abominated charm, which he regarded as evidence of chronic temperamental weakness.
When it comes to touch and feel as a musician, style is infinitely more important than chops.
I think I take my style from all walks of life, and all generations and decades of life as well. I love mixing '50s with '80s and classic with punk.
The best thing to do is just know that there's a big difference between style and fashion, and that one doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the other.
For the consumer, fashion is fashion. You can buy something beautiful for $20 and you can buy something ugly for $1,000. It comes down to style. As far as the industry as a whole, it is hard to say. I don't like to separate the worlds.
