Copycats Quote by Lester Young
“The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself. Show them that you're an individual. And I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand.”

We [Theocracy] are obviously not trying to musically re-invent the wheel here, and you can certainly hear our influences, but we also don't sound like a copycat of any one band.” quote by Matt Smith](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2b4/matt-smith-5333_approach_i-am-writing-from-the-heart-and-having-a_1295754.jpg)
