I was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out.

I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I’m in public, at Dollywood. People say, ‚How many wigs do you have?‘ And I say, ‚Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.‘

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

I really focus on my jeans and sweaters for them to fit really well. There was a time that wasn’t the case.

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I’m not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.

Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

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

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.

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

The French have got taste.

Sometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‚Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?‘ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.

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.

Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.

There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.

I don’t care how many beauty treatments you have, I don’t care which bag you’re carrying – you have to have a dress.

Fashion has become so whatever. I don’t think there are any stones left to unturn.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

Begin with the end in mind.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.

Fashion breaks my heart.

When I took over as president, I studied the Constitution, and the more I studied it, the more I realised that it does not prevent the president of India from giving the nation a vision. So when I went and presented this vision in Parliament and in legislative assemblies; everyone welcomed it, irrespective of party affiliations.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

I go down the street, people see me: ‚Hey, I pity-‚ right on, man, that’s a compliment to me.

In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.

Sometimes I can’t figure designers out. It’s as if they flunked human anatomy.

I want my wardrobe to be full of good clothes, so that when I’m deciding what to wear, I don’t run out of options. I love shopping!

I like Tom Ford a lot because it’s so classic and has great quality. I wear a lot of Rag & Bone.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

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!

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

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

I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.

Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.

I wouldn’t wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I’ve come to know her that way, too.

Just do some kind of workout. Doesn’t matter if it’s going for a walk around the block, going for a jog, doing some calisthenics, lifting weights, going to a pool and swimming – you name it. But do something that gets your blood flowing and gets your mind in the game.

I like to walk around with bare feet and I don’t like to comb my hair.

If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

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.

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

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

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.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

Back in the day, I would wear up to 45 pounds of gold. It would take me four hours to get dressed!

The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

I said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.

My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.

A mission statement is not something you write overnight… But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
