“The student, balancing between the deep knowledge of the specialist and the broad curiosity of the generalist, must develop, largely on their own, their capacity to be conscious of past and emerging idioms, to see their own work in the context of developing styles, and – most difficult of all – to identify how their own personal style can co-exist with the restrictions of utility and the conventions of genre.”

“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.”

“Style, in the broadest sense of all, is consciousness. More specifically it is a consistent idiom arising spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained.”

“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”

“Styles are tailor made to different situations. Different leaders must have their own styles and these styles must be able to adapt to different people and situations.”

“I personally like being unique. I like being my own person with my own style and my own opinions and my own toothbrush.”
