I wear the national dress because it is the most natural and the most becoming for an Indian.

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

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

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn’t want anybody’s name on my backside. I personally don’t like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone’s likeness all over it.

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

Getting recognized is insane. It just blows my mind. Like, someone who you don’t know at all can just be like, ‚Oh my God – are you Billie?‘

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

I guess it’s flattering that everyone believed I was those characters, but it also is dehumanizing.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don’t know how to do it, and wouldn’t be any good at it if I did, so I’m going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course.

If I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.

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.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I like to look good, my friend.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

I have too many clothes, I have too many options.

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.

Another belief of mine; that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.

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

The sexiest thing that a woman can do, wear, and say all fall under one word to me: subtlety. To be subtle in the things that she does and the things she says and the things she wears – I appreciate the details.

Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I’m not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that’s why they identify with me.

We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go.

Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: ‚I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.‘

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.

Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.

I love soft-cotton white T-shirts.

If you’re too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

I have a hard time figuring out what kind of box to put me in, too, because I don’t know exactly what’s going on around me or why. But I need to stay outside of boxes because then I can look at what’s inside of them without being part of them.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.

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

The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Woman’s at best a contradiction still.

The one thing I couldn’t identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

Don’t just eat McDonald’s, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That’s what fashion is. It’s something that is a bit better.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‚blackness‘ than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.

My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

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.

My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese.

I never wanted to be Marilyn – it just happened. Marilyn’s like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.

I think that people just have this core desire to express who they are. And I think that’s always existed.

If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don’t just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

If I wasn’t Bob Dylan, I’d probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let’s make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.

Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll be a great actress.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

I hate being called an ‚icon.‘ I just don’t like it. That’s all there is to it.

Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French.

I don’t feel very comfortable defending my fashion except to say that people don’t have to buy it. You do have to consume. You have to live. If you’ve got the money to be able to afford it, then it’s really good to buy something from me, but don’t buy too much.
