Growing up in the '80s, questions of style and music and youth culture all seemed inherently political - like gay rights issues, dressing up, wearing makeup, arms protests. A lot of attitude and opinions were expressed through clothes, and they all were meaningful. So in that way, I was so excited about the connection between our private lives and politics - who I kiss, how I like to dance.
I hated the makeup. I hated all that pancake makeup. I didn't really like dressing for parts.
I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.
The only really firm rule of taste about cross dressing is that neither sex should ever wear anything they haven't yet figured out how to go to the bathroom in.
Sex is something I live very well, but it is something I revealed very slowly in my fashion. What I do is emotional. For me, there is a base, which is my Italian roots. It's a strong passion for fashion, a passion for sensuality and dressing for one's self.
Honestly I prefer dressing for comfort rather than style, so whatever is comfortable and looks decent, that'll do.
Here, let's go to my dressing room, and I promise, I'll only put it in for a second.
You know, people at Wal-Mart are standing there with their uniforms on. I feel like I'm putting on a uniform to do a movie. I don't feel like it's dressing in drag.
When. . . I told my father I wanted to be a writer, he had asked me to consider my unfortunate wife, who would have me about the house all day 'wearing a dressing gown, brewing tea and stumped for words'.
I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room
You know, women are acting the way they want to act now. Years ago they would hide it in the way they dressed, the way they speak, even the way they act in bed. Today, they're doing the same thing, but they're dressing the way they want to be treated and, when you're with them, acting the way they want to act. And you know, honesty is the best policy. I love that.
I started dressing and people used to ask, "Where do you get all that stuff?" I was going to thrift stores with my best friend Bianca Stewart.
When actors aren't filming they just go to their dressing rooms and relax.
Dressing up is all about reflecting how I feel.
Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.
I don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done.
Writing good jokes requires effort. Think I'll just start dressing funnier.
Dressing is a way of life.
My perfect last meal would be: shrimp cocktail, lasagna, steak, creamed spinach, salad with bleu cheese dressing, onion rings, garlic bread, and a dessert of strawberry shortcake.
Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.
