I love vintage cars because you can do so much more to them.

When I first got signed, I bought a vintage guitar from the 1930s for £1000. I’ve bought a £400 SLR camera, too, which was quite extravagant.

When I’m living in L.A., I’m mainly a jeans, vintage T-shirt and Nike high-tops guy.

I restore vintage Atari XY arcade video game machines.

I’m doing a fun EP. It’s called ‘Songs in the Key of Phife: Eight Is Enough.’ It’s radio-friendly, but then a lot of it just has that raw hip-hop. Some of it will be vintage Tribe, but for the most part I’m just letting my voice be heard.

I love finding vintage mid-century pieces at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. They have great finds at an incredible price!

I inherited some Chanel pieces from my mother. I’ve worn Prada – absolutely. Wonderful designers are inspiring. I also love designers not known. I love a lot of vintage pieces. I am pretty minimal, pretty classic.

If I’m wearing a vintage ’50s-style dress, I’ll wear some funky, wild shoes by a contemporary designer.

I have literally wanted a vintage business for as long as I can remember, but I am glad I waited. I’ve learned so much over the past ten years. So much about quality, shape and how to spot what truly is vintage and what isn’t.

If there is anything more frightening than the threat of global nuclear war, it is the certainty that humans not only stand on the verge of producing new life forms but may soon be able to tinker with them as if they were vintage convertibles or bonsai trees.

I love vintage and I shop vintage a lot because it’s just such great value for money.

I don’t use any real vintage hardware any longer. That’s always been the object as far as gaining control of the studio environment, going back to when I built my first studio, Secret Sound, in New York City. The whole point was to not have to pay studio bills anymore and not be looking at the clock.

I love to find a great vintage secondhand shop.

All of the vintage photos of Ballets Russes are so inspiring.

The best thing about ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ is that it has not turned vintage or old yet. People still remember, love and watch it whenever it is played which in itself is a stupendous feeling.

I just love vintage. I have far too many vintage dresses.

I’m into Gucci a lot, like vintage ’70s everything. I’m into Versace.

I couldn’t keep up with trends, I couldn’t really be fashionable. But I really loved clothes. And then I discovered a vintage shop, and realised that I could dress for myself rather than for an industry or trend.

Guitars are kind of just, you know, sexy, especially old vintage ones.

My style is a little ’70s and classic old Hollywood. I incorporate a lot of vintage, bohemian blouses paired with a good wedge.
