You have to look good.
After you’ve done all the work and prepared as much as you can, what the hell, you might as well go out and have a good time.
As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.
Sometimes when you start losing detail, whether it’s in music or in life, something as small as failing to be polite, you start to lose substance.
I remember Glenn Miller coming to me once, before he had his own band, saying, How do you do it? How do you get started? It’s so difficult. I told him, I don’t know but whatever you do don’t stop. Just keep on going.
To this day, I don’t like people walking on stage not looking good. You have to look good. If you feel special about yourself then you’re going to play special.
One way or the other, if you want to find reasons why you shouldn’t keep on, you’ll find ’em. The obstacles are all there; there are a million of ’em.
I’ll put on a punk rock T-shirt, a ’50s style skirt, and a pair of flip-flops. I like to mesh a whole bunch of things together.
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
If I’m just in dungarees, I don’t think I would intimidate anyone.
It’s the 90’s. You don’t want to look rich.
A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.
A lot of musicians put diamonds on things to show they had money. I on the other had felt that a Rolex Daytona showed I had style and I didn’t need to be flashy.
I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.
I think it’s just very subjective. It’s whatever you want. I’m obviously very flattered when I see people re-create our makeup looks, and we love that.
I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don’t wear much makeup.
I think I’d have to say my favorite IWC. They have been around for so long and the craftsmanship is top notch. A watch maker that has been in business over 100 years has to know what they are doing.
I’m going to Adidas, ‘Adidas, I know you’ve never made a shoe under $50 but we have to make a shoe that costs $30 and it’s going to be coolest shoe of all.’
I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.
I buy my clothes at J.Crew online. I’m a very casual guy.
I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.
I look good, smell good, and make love good!
