It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.

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.

Housework never really bothered me… what bothered me about it later was that it was expected to be your life… when you’re a housewife, you are constantly interrupted. You have no space in your life. It isn’t the fact that you do the laundry.

Eight years ago, you may remember Hillary and I were rivals for the Democratic nomination. We battled for a year and a half. Let me tell you, it was tough, because Hillary was tough. I was worn out. She was doing everything I was doing, but just like Ginger Rogers, it was backwards in heels.

More than anything, I like a jacket. You can do anything with a great jacket, the bigger the better. You can have any silhouette underneath. It gives you an attitude. It makes a gown look cool.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.

I do have a vulnerable side. I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. They only see the tough, defensive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

To the women and children, T stands for tender. To the bad guys and thugs, it stands for tough.

Clothing & fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.

When I get dressed, it’s like freestyling.

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 don’t know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.

I’m not denyin‘ the women are foolish. God Almighty made ‚em to match the men.

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

The army teaches boys to think like men.

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

Never was it given to mortal man – To lie so boldly as we women can.

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 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.

I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I’d rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don’t wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.

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

No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.

I’m not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it’s really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

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.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

Obviously black matches with everything.

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

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.

I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.

Fashion is merely an opinion. And I’ve got a lot of opinions.

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.

My style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.

The female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.

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

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

I’d always tried to resist playing the supervirility thing. I liked showing the vulnerability of age.

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

Fashion is one thing, but style is another.

I like to look good, my friend.

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’ll be back‘ always sounded a little girly to me.
