We worked all the time, just worked and then we would be hungry and my mother was clearing up a new ground trying to help feed us for $1. 25 a day. She was using an axe, just like a man, and something flew up and hit her in her eye. It eventually caused her to lose both of her eyes and I began to get sicker and sicker of the system there. I used to see my mother wear clothes that would have so many patches on them, they had been done over and over and over again. She would do that but she would try to keep us decent.
To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can't pull it off.
In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
The real lost souls don't wear their hair long and play guitars. They have crew cuts and trained minds, sign on for research in biological warfare, and don't give their parents a moment's worry.
Listen, if you were with me on a plane? I'm embarrassed for the people who sit next to me. I have such a regimen! I, like, pound on the face cream because your face will dry out, I get the stuff you put in your nose so no nose germs come in, I take elderberry for immunity, I wear a scarf.
Why do we wear clothes? Genesis!
Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you're wearing. It is how you wear it. who you are inside.
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Just never give up. Try to believe in yourself and don't let negativity wear you down.
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.
I'll wear little dresses for a look and then it'll become only shorts for a while or only t-shirts for a while. So I go through different phases but I combine different things. I don't like things that draw too much attention. It's usually just things that complement me and aren't too loud.
In our society, most of us wear protective masks of various kinds and for various reasons. Very often the end result is that the masks grow to us, displacing our original characters with our assumed characters.
The hoodies themselves aren't criminal. White people wear hoodies all the time!
I like to wear things, I don't like things to wear me.
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
I do think that we have to be careful not to assume that getting a perm or wearing a blonde wig is a desire for whiteness. It may or may not be. Listen, I live in a poor black neighborhood where women wear blue hair, green hair, and all kinds of stuff. So, I simply see it as a different set of choices.
Loyalty saves the wear and tear of making daily decisions as to what is best to do.
I never wear very serious suits. I don't have to because I don't go to an office, so it's fine.
I always wear my sweater back-to-front; it is so much more flattering.
