I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

Most women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.

Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I’m past that age.

I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Life is short, the art long.

I’m not looking to freak people out – eating rodents or bugs. I don’t do that anymore.

I find the difference, for me, between having no money and having quite a bit is that the bills get bigger. And that’s it. The lifestyle doesn’t change.

We based the look on rock ‚n roll right from the beginning.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

It’s a representation of yourself, and you can express a lot of your creativity with what your wearing.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It’s a piece that men wear every day, and it’s something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it’s on the street or going to an awards ceremony.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

I’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘

Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.

Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.

My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like Destiny’s Child’s, so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line.

I love dresses, and I’ve definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right.

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, ‚What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?‘ And, ‚How does creativity apply across the board?‘

I didn’t have any children of my own.

I don’t know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way – all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup – all the time. When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.

I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.

Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.

I like either skinny jeans or the ripped, casual, super-sloppy boyfriend jeans. A lot of ripped jeans. They are so early 2000, but they are so cute, I love them. I love surfer jeans, too!

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, ‚God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!‘

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

I wouldn’t say that anyone in fashion is on my side. I don’t think there’s anyone on my side.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

My momma didn’t clean up floors so I could be a thug… so I could wear my pants down.

Some people, they take their form of working out as a religion that they think is better than everyone else’s. I’m not like that. If you have a better way to work out, and you can teach it to me, and I find it to be useful and gets me in better shape, I’m all about.

I love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.

I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.

I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.

I just dress like… I’m an old black man. Sorry! Like I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.

I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don’t follow fashion.

I’m very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.

I still derive immense pleasure from remembering how many hod-carrying brickies were encouraged to put on lurex tights and mince up and down the high street, having been assured by know-it-alls like me that a smidgen of blusher really attracted the birds.

I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I’m someone else.

I like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.

People don’t want to hear about me having leather walls or gold toilets.

When you’re 25 or 30, you know, you can’t wear lime-green eye shadow anymore.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.

The fashion I’ve acquired over the years is so sacred to me – from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I’ve collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood.

You know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

My jewelry’s all fake – from Claire’s. Or I get it from my mom’s boutique in Barbados.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.
