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.

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

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

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.

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.

The importance of logo into today’s fashion is un! be! Lievable!

T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.

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

I like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

I like surprises.

My style offstage is so different from onstage. I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.

I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.

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.

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.

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

With a suit, always wear big British shoes, the ones with large welts. There’s nothing worse than dainty little Italian jobs at the end of the leg line.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back.

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.

The great music for so many artists – the Beatles, the Rolling Stones – was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.

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.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

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

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

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 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.

I’m all about surprises. If you watch a horror movie, and it’s called ‚Kiss Land,‘ it’s probably going to be the most terrifying thing you’ve ever seen in your life.

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.

Everyone has their style and your style explains a lot about who you are – you feel me? I’ve had style since childhood, so I like to dress how I feel. But maybe I get carried away by some trends.

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

When I get dressed, it’s like freestyling.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

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

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

I am not some goddess that dropped down from the sky to sing pop music; I am not some extra-incredible human person that needs to be told how wonderful they are all day and kissed.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

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

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.

My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

Even though I’m known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.

I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.

What I like about pop music, and why I’m still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.

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

I want to make pop cool again, and the only way I can do that is by being ambitious and grand.

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

A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus.

I think my style is probably more of a classic look.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

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

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

Fashion is one thing, but style is another.
