I want to evolve each season. I never want to be one of those brands where people know what they’re going to see. I always want an element of surprise.

A man’s kiss is his signature. Mae West
Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature. Thich Nhat Hanh
I think you have to be careful with spices. Kids’ palates can be very delicate, and they might not like things overspiced. In my cookbooks for kids, I do a milder version of my signature spice blend, Emeril’s Essence, called Baby Bam, which has no cayenne pepper. Emeril Lagasse
How do you photograph a gadget in a new, and not boring, way? You have to get away from people sitting in front of a computer. You have to get a look at the digital signature. Rick Smolan
I think a fragrance is more of a signature than even what you wear – something you’ll remember more down the road than a shirt. Ryan Reynolds
I’m against a signature look, as that can be very outdating. But having said that, I also know my best qualities, so I’m not going to foolhardily give away my power. Iman
Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing! Pat Riley

I was the first athlete, from a training standpoint, with Adidas to have their own signature shoe. Keyshawn Johnson
Perfume is like a personal signature, which is why I like to mix my own. For years I’ve paired Femme by Rochas with Shalimar and love the results. Danielle Steel

The pact creating a North American free-trade zone was President Bill Clinton’s signature accomplishment; but NAFTA is also the bugaboo of union leaders, grassroots activists and Midwesterners who blame free trade for the factory closings they see in their hometowns. Nina Easton
I’ve always believed in the power of rational thinking and behavior as the savior of the world, and science fiction as a powerful medium to encourage that, which explains my signature line, ‘Let’s save the world through science fiction.’ James Gunn

What does signature mean? Supposedly these are the added touches that make the crime personal to the killer. Pat Brown

That’s one thing I don’t think people consider nowadays. They want to believe in the importance of marriage, boil it down to just a signature on a legal document. But that’s exactly what it is. If not, why not just get married without one? Ariel Pink
I read every agreement of every contract. Anything I put my signature on, I really do read them. And I find things. Afeni Shakur
To be a true comic, you have to have a signature move. You ever watch wrestling? And your favorite wrestler has the one move that he always does to finish his opponent off, right?

When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It’s like a signature, a fingerprint. Mikhail Baryshnikov

Art is the signature of civilizations. Beverly Sills
Scrawling ‘I’m gay’ in lipstick on your parents’ bedroom mirror may demonstrate a personal signature of the highest style, but is not particularly sensitive to their feelings.

When I had my cancer, the chemotherapy took my hair away. So then I decided I would just keep it short, and this is my signature now. The great thing about it is that I am a bit of a chameleon, so you can put a wig on me and I look totally different. Anthony Warlow

I’ve learned that there’s a signature Metallica sound, and if we stray too far from that, our fans get impatient, or they just don’t understand, or they miss the point. And I’m not saying that’s a good thing or a bad thing; it’s just something we have to contend with. Kirk Hammett
The message behind every brand that’s plus size is about making a woman feel confident in any shape or size. Now straight size, it’s all about the signature brand and how to look good in that one brand, and not necessarily how to look good for yourself. Hayley Hasselhoff
I was a superhero fan in the ’90s, so I’m definitely familiar with John Romita, Jr. In fact, when I was in high school, I would go to local conventions and line up and get his signature. Gene Luen Yang
My character is Toni Topaz, and she’s from the new-generation Archie Comics. I will be rocking the signature pink hair. Vanessa Morgan
My signature fragrance would be herbal – basil mixed with rosemary and coriander. Some big stars have got perfume lines that smell really bad. They’ve got it all wrong. Valerie June
I think people don’t realise that running a piece of code that verifies some conditions for a financial transaction, that by itself is a lot less work than verifying a cryptographic signature, and so even if the virtual machine is inefficient, the cryptographic signature is still going to dominate. Vitalik Buterin
Socialisation is not optional. It’s an inescapable contract, and our birth into the world is our signature of agreement. Norms and ideologies vary from society to society, and most of them weren’t formed during our lifetimes but were handed down from one generation to the next. Michaela Coel
I am thrilled to receive the Sondheim Award from the wonderful Signature Theatre. I have already received the invaluable gift of over twenty-five years of collaboration and friendship with Steve. Now I get to have his award, too! James Lapine
In all the years I’ve been playing, I’ve never considered changing my cue. It was the first cue I ever bought, aged 13, picked from a cabinet in a Dunfermline snooker centre just because I liked the Rex Williams signature on it. I saved ?40 to buy it. It’s a cheap bit of wood, and it’s been the butt of other players’ jokes for ages. Stephen Hendry

Signature film-making seems rather dull to me; it’s about finding something you can do something with and running with the ball. David MacKenzie

From my music training, I knew that, some Spanish rhythms apart, 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst’s Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It’s only when you add a rest – a sixth beat – that it sounds as it surely should sound. Nicholson Baker
A signature ChapStick would be so sweet. Ryan Sheckler
I don’t get what my signature is supposed to mean if we haven’t had some kind of exchange. Nana Visitor

I counterfeited Mark Kostabi’s artworks. During the eighties, Mark didn’t paint his own paintings. Instead, he had other artists painting them, and he just added his signature. So what I did was to use some of the same painters, and signed his name myself. Andy Behrman
The great thing about Satan is it’s kind of like Hamlet. Everyone puts their own signature on it in a way, whether it’s Al Pacino or little old me. Mark Pellegrino

I keep changing my stuff. I used to play through a Marshall JCM800, and then I also had a Randy Rhoads signature amp. So before I was playing EVH, I was playing an ODB pedal. I still have my Dunlop Jerry Cantrell wah pedal because I love that. Lzzy Hale
I didn’t understand key signatures or anything, you know. I’d say silly things at the top of a trumpet part like, ‘Note, when you play B naturals, make the B naturals a half step lower because they sound funny if they’re B naturals.’ And some guy said: ‘Idiot, just put a flat on the third line and it’s a key signature, you know?’ Quincy Jones
I have a friend – not a dwarf – who’s an alchemist of sorts. He concocted a men’s cologne… He gave me a bottle as a gift. I was thinking we should totally put this on the market.

You really don’t need to wear any make-up most of the time; keep your eyebrows the way they are, and find your own natural beauty signature. Erin Heatherton

It turned out in the long run that Lincoln’s credit and the popular confidence that supported it were as valuable both to his creditors and himself as if the sums which stood over his signature had been gold coin in a solvent bank. John George Nicolay
The serve, I was too young and too small and… not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that’s why I think it’s my strength also today, you know. Roger Federer

The first line is the DNA of the poem; the rest of the poem is constructed out of that first line. A lot of it has to do with tone because tone is the key signature for the poem. The basis of trust for a reader used to be meter and end-rhyme. Billy Collins
I don’t know why my smile has become a signature pose. I think it’s a nice change. I think people want to see happiness, so a smile is what can bring that. I didn’t make it my trademark on purpose. Arizona Muse
We all have, in my family, what we call the ‘Vorderman bottom’ – a sticky out, bigger-than-normal, signature, of the rear variety. It’s been a family joke all our lives – even my lovely brother has one. I know the lines to all the good singalong big bum songs. Carol Vorderman
At a festival, a lot of people came to see other artists, so you have to put on a signature set and performance: ‘This is what I do, this is why I’m here.’ At solo gigs, I’m a DJ – I’ll play two-and-a-half hours, and not just my own music, also my favorite songs by other artists. Afrojack
‘Night They Missed the Horror Show’ is my signature story. It changed my life, so it remains my favorite. Joe R. Lansdale

I have always wanted to create a fragrance from its inception to fruition and articulate femininity, confidence, and fortitude. Ivanka Trump
One of my signature strengths is the love of learning, and by teaching, I have built it into the fabric of my life. I try to do some of it every day. Martin Seligman

I’m totally on a mission to find my signature scent, but I’m too mercurial. Lexa Doig
I really am in love with the idea of an artistic signature. Porter Robinson

Watching TV produces low levels of satisfaction because it doesn’t challenge you. Instead, do something that raises your self-esteem. Tap into your ‘signature strengths’ – things you’re good at or passionate about. Karen Salmansohn
All of Koons’s best art – the encased vacuum cleaners, the stainless-steel Rabbit (the late-twentieth century’s signature work of Simulationist sculpture), the amazing gleaming Balloon Dog, and the cast-iron re-creation of a Civil War mortar exhibited last month at the Armory – has simultaneously flaunted extreme realism, idealism, and fantasy. Jerry Saltz
At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that’s one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy. Carmelo Anthony
I thrive on change. That’s probably why my chord changes are weird, because chords depict emotions. They’ll be going along on one key and I’ll drop off a cliff, and suddenly they will go into a whole other key signature. That will drive some people crazy, but that’s how my life is. Joni Mitchell
Thinking about your training should put a smile on your face. As cliche as it sounds, you are worth all the time and energy you’ve put in. Unleash your emotions with a cheer, or even a signature roar, after a tough workout. Summer Sanders
You know, I used to warm the thermometer on the light bulb… I was really good at being sick. I could forge my mother’s signature on a sick note so well I was hardly ever at school. Graydon Carter
My signature look is an eighties baby doll dress, combat boots with colorful socks sticking out, and then mounds of jewelry. I love silver and turquoise. I go to Montana every winter, so I hunt around for cool pieces there. Zoey Deutch
Only a handful of professional football athletes have had a signature shoe, unlike in basketball where there have been a number of guys. Keyshawn Johnson
I try to satisfy the desires that people have to have their books personalized. That’s a value, or feature, of bibliophilia that may vanish. How do you get your e-book signed? The idea of people standing in line to get my signature in their book, it’s hard to turn them away. Chris Van Allsburg
Photography is the easiest medium with which to be merely competent. Almost anybody can be competent. It’s the hardest medium in which to have some sort of personal vision and to have a signature style. Chuck Close
