“I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.”

What’s so wrong with vanity? It’s different from narcissism, you know? It’s not about admiring yourself-it’s about taking pride in your appearance.

There are no right or wrong answers, There is only intuition.

Keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It’s just really flattering—it will take pounds off you.

Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn’t feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Men don’t wear fashion any more except in Italy and London. Americans have lost that.

I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.

Only hire people you want to have dinner with.

British people still wear clothes. By clothes I mean actual clothes: jackets and shirts and ties and suits. English men make an effort. We’ve lost that in the US. Everyone is more concerned with being comfortable.

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.

The atheist, by merely being in touch with reality, appears shamefully out of touch with the fantasy life of his neighbors.

I love pink – pink’s my favourite. I hardly ever – weirdly – wear it, but I love the colour pink.

The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.

I feel quite proud to be an ambassador for women who realize that being fit is better than being skinny.

I sound the same regardless if I’m 20 pounds heavier or 20 pounds light, and I think that’s the key thing with my fans and why they continue to be loyal because I’m that type of person.

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Women of genius commonly have masculine faces, figures and manners. In transplanting brains to an alien soil God leaves a little of the original earth clinging to the roots.
