My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!

Frank Capra

I always try to be a trend setter. That's what I always tell young people when I'm giving them advice. To go with their heart and don't follow the trends.

Teena Marie

Don't follow trends, start trends.

Frank Capra

It's important to me to try and expose young people to the things they believe are off-limits to them. I tell them, 'There are no walls, only the ones we put up.' My advice to young people looking at my life is not to follow my footprint but to go out there and make their own.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

I love independent films because I love to help, I love to assist, I love to pass along knowledge or experience to young filmmakers because usually, that's what they are. They're young filmmakers who are trying to either just simply tell their stories or trying to break into show business, and this is their calling card. But either way, I just really respect young filmmakers who are trying to tell a story that means something to them.

Tamlyn Tomita

I don't think I'd give advice. That never pays off. That's always a bad idea. If they follow your advice and it doesn't work out, or if they don't follow your advice, somehow you're on the hook for it.

Tracy Letts

My mother always taught me to wear clothes for myself and not to follow trends as trends will end!

Lela Rose

Follow sound business trends, not fashion trends.

Janice Dickinson

If the advice is simply to respect yourself and follow the path that you want to follow, that would be the best advice I could ever pass on.

Stephen Chbosky

I don't like the idea of 'trends' at all. If you follow trends, then everybody looks the same. The best shopping experiences are in local markets, especially in foreign cities.

Leigh Lezark

Successful artists don't follow trends; they create them.

Nafessa Williams

I’m one of those people who doesn’t follow trends. I set them.

Zendaya

You can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you could trust your doctor and your auto mechanic and not intend to follow their advice. If you don't intend to follow their advice, you simply don't trust them. Period.

Dallas Willard

Never follow anyone else’s path, unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path and by all means you should follow that. Don’t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don’t take anyone’s advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
