I’ve most liked dressing up as a flapper. I’ve been flappered twice. But I care not only about the clothes they wore but what they stood for. It’s early-liberated, earning money, having the vote, their potential husband probably died in the war, that kind of independence.

One of the main things I take away is just the way the boys approach the game and carry on.

I have a drum set in my dressing room. I play drums to relax and have some fun.

My nan always had lots of jewellery and I remember she had these little pots that she kept on the dressing table. I would sit in front of the mirror and try it all on.
I’ve always been into dressing nicely. My dad’s really into fashion, also. We’ll always go out and buy stuff. He has his own style and I have my own style, but it’s a shared thing. Same thing with my grandfather; he was really into his style, so it’s just sort of been passed down, I think.
I have never been a bad influence in the dressing room.

I like to dress up but I’m not so concerned with looking very sexy, it’s really more the art of dressing.

Many stories come from the dressing room that one doesn’t speak when you are playing but can do once retired.

I don’t have a reputation of being a super-witch who demands pink rugs in the dressing room.

I remember going to Bob Preston’s dressing room because I was losing a laugh – as you do in a long run. He said, ‘Give me the script. That’s where you’re going off the road.’ That’s comedy. It’s never the line itself; it’s in the foundation.
I just think when you are dressing a celebrity, for me, I’m hopefully adding a moment. I always say, ‘What role do you want to play?’ when we start a fitting.
I love the dressing up, I love the fashion, I think that’s all part of it. Particularly Australian designers are really exciting and all of that’s really fun.

I wake up every morning and I feel like I’m juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I’m cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It’s like a robe, it’s like a kimono, it’s like a toga. It doesn’t have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.
I’ve never been interested in dressing one woman. What’s interested me was to have a philosophy. It hasn’t been important to put a woman in a blue dress.

I always try to manipulate the eye when I’m dressing myself or someone else. I don’t have an hourglass figure, so I’m always trying to give the illusion that I have one; bringing the eye to the waistline by adding a belt or having a heavier print at the bottom or at the top helps define your shape.
When I arrived at Juventus as the manager in 1999, Antonio Conte was the captain of the club, an Italy international, and a player who had a lot of influence in the dressing room – and when I needed a leader in the team, he was the obvious choice.

People on the outside see a Neymar on the pitch, but that’s not him. People see him doing tricks and dribbles and think that he is only trying to enjoy himself, that he’s selfish and only thinks about himself. But when you share a dressing room with him you realise that it’s not the case.
When I joined the Lakers and moved to L.A., I started getting more serious about collecting sneakers and dressing from the feet up.

I love the theater. I love being on stage; I love the live audience. I also love dressing up and all of the make-believe.
‘Seba’ Veron was one of the best players I shared a dressing room with. Not only was he technically gifted and could pass the ball accurately over distance, not only could he anticipate where players would run, but he also ran himself.
After a great save or a mistake by a defender, I prefer not to shout on him; I prefer to wait and say it inside of the dressing room. I was always like that. I am relaxed, I try to be normal after a mistake, and when I make a mistake, I don’t want people coming to me on the pitch shouting at me.
I love the ’60s – that’s my comfort zone as far as dressing goes.
I love ’80s music, but in the dressing room, it tends to be more lively!
For people that don’t have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don’t want to analyze… those aren’t the people I romanticize about dressing.
My earliest memories are at the Blue Note here in New York or backstage at different theatres or different clubs, dressing rooms.
When you’re dressing on a budget, simplicity is key.
I found myself trying to appeal to the ‘Half Baked’ crowd and I wasn’t that guy. It’s like dressing up as Batman every day. It’s not Halloween every day. It’s fun on Halloween, but I can’t dress up in that outfit every day when I’m not that anymore or never was that guy.
Shooting a movie should be fun! It’s not a real job. It can be hard, but at the end of the day, we’re dressing up and playing pretend.
I believe in comfortable yet stylish dressing.
Dressing up, for me, is looking like an idiot.
I’m not some sort of tormented soul looking for an identity in the roles I take. I became an actress because I just love dressing up and playing.
For me, I’ve always loved style, because I’ve always loved dressing different and being unique and maybe wearing stuff no one else would wear, and I feel like that really carries over into my same taste in interior design.
I don’t like to be rushed. I plan my outfits for the week in advance. I find the appropriate outfit for each occasion, try it on, make sure it is in good condition and have it all ready with shoes, handbag and accessories laid out in my dressing room. Fashion is such a huge part of my career, I have to think ahead.
Styling is such a small part of what I do. I have, like, 10 jobs. People don’t know that I work so much on the back end of things. They think I’m just dressing people. My business is with brands.
I love being a writer. I have a great life. I get up in the morning and pad around in my dressing gown and listen to Radio 4.
Ashlee Simpson kicking her dressing room door after getting caught lip-synching – that was interesting to watch.
At night, I love dressing up. I love putting on an outfit.
For our first album, we were our own dressers. We didn’t have no stylists. We came up with all of the ideas when it came to dressing. At that time, Cross Colours and Jabos were really popular, so we were able to get stuff from them, but we always added accessories.
Growing up in Bloomington, Minn., I loved the ritual of dressing for Little League – in white socks, blue stirrups, belted pants, a double-knit jersey, and the cap I’d hold over my face to screen out mosquitoes in right field.
The dressing room is not the place where you show emotion.
I would like to be remembered as the reporter who snuck back stage to all the off-limits shows, be it the Vatican dressing room, the Pentagon war room, or the Celtics locker room. Some curtains ought never to be pulled back; others deserve to be ripped down. When appropriate, I want to be the curtain remover.
My object in life is not simply to make money for myself or to spend it on myself in dressing or running around in an automobile, but I love to use a part of what I make in trying to help others.
When I think about old Hollywood and the glamour of those days, women like Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn were not dressing the way some girls dress today. There was a certain mystery about them, and I feel like that’s gone in our industry.
The FA Cup final is such a fantastic final to play in. I played in the 1999 one at Wembley, and after having watched so many finals as a kid, to be able to make that long walk up from the dressing room to the pitch was fantastic.
Then as I was wrestling as Terry Boulder. I was on a talk show with Lou Ferrigno, and I was actually bigger than he was! I went back to the dressing room that night and all of the wrestlers go ‘Oh my God you’re bigger than the hulk on TV’ so they started calling me Terry ‘The Hulk’ Boulder.
People are dressing like stars, which is kind of fantastic.
When it comes to creativity, or my artistry, when it comes to how I wear my hair and what I’m dressing like, some things I’m going to fight for; and it’s really about picking the battles, but usually I’m not backing down.
For those who are out of work, to have the confidence from dressing appropriately and to feel good about themselves, it’s really important.
On the sets, I used to scare people. I team up with my level of people and sometimes do spooky things. I’ve inherited this from my mother, as she used to scare my neighbours by dressing up like a ghost.
I love dressing up, and I’m aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!
In the dressing room, we’ve just made it really Zen: low lighting, lots of candles, and fresh, healthy food.
I’m quite shy, really. The figure you see on TV, that’s just a persona. I like getting home, putting my feet up, getting into my slippers and dressing gown.
My personal style is bipolar. Sometimes I feel like dressing in a boyish leather jacket; other times I want to dress more elegantly. Most of the time it’s what I like to call ‘comfortable chic’: Giuseppe Zanotti flat sandals, Rag & Bone jeans, slouchy Isabel Marant shirts.
I love dressing up.
There’s a picture of Christopher and the real Ken Titus and myself in my dressing room. He’s a great guy, by the way. I just think the real Ken is just super. And he’s so happy for his son’s success.
I do enjoy the dressing up. I like to have fun with fashion, and while the cameras can be a bit intense, I love the final result… I tend to treat the whole process with a pinch of salt!
On a personal level, I think dressing is such a form of expression, and when you do events, it’s important to feel as though you are authentically yourself.
I love dressing up around the holidays! My friends also really like to get dressed up. It’s an excuse to get fancy.
Generally, variations in earnings aren’t nearly as impactful on glamour growth stocks as are changes in image and, well, sexiness. I often think of glamour stocks as though they are attractive women dressing to the nines.

By far the best dressing up outfit I ever had was a wonderful pair of clown dungarees, which my Granny made.
So when people tell me that dressing curves is hard, I tell them to look to the 50s as there is an entire decade dedicated to it.
I’m a great believer that you cannot have enough senior pros around your dressing room.
There’s a certain level of comfort that comes when you move in together. The mystery is gone. She starts dressing for bed in your pajamas, cream on her face, Uggs, curlers. What happened to the sexy girl that used to come to bed in lingerie? The girl says, ‘We don’t need to act.’
I love dressing up. I like going out and buying some crazy stuff. I like stuff that’s new, innovative and weird. I just pick out stuff that is unique and anything that I’m really diggin’. I don’t really care if it’s kind of out there. That’s what I’m about. I like picking stuff that is really different.
A lot of the comics called me Bronco because I wouldn’t get off – if I had to do an hour, I would stand there, even if it wasn’t going well. I knew comics that would climb out of dressing room windows after they’d done their first spot.
I like dressing sexy, and I like having a good time.
Each transfer brings a change to the dressing room that I must protect – that is my job.

It will be wonderful to get into the Indian dressing room as the coach. I am really looking forward to the challenge and the huge responsibility. I know there will be a lot of expectations and that is something which I am looking forward to.
When I get home at night, I always have a soak in the tub before changing into my dressing gown and slippers.
They say that women dress for other women, but I don’t think that’s entirely true. If we want to look flossy out-and-about on a Friday night, we’re dressing for the boys – and it’s nice when they notice.
But yes, I’m going to miss being a part of the team, sharing a dressing room, playing a test match, all those kinds of things.
I like dressing in all seasons. Every season has its own character and charm.
I am who I am, and I try to influence the team in my own way, especially with my performances on the pitch. If possible, I try to help the team in the dressing room as well by offering encouragement where needed.

I enjoyed dressing in Indian clothes. I loved those long, single-piece garments that come down to the knees and the white pyjamas you wear underneath.

It was a great experience to share the dressing room with names like Virat Kohli, M S Dhoni, Rohit Sharma.
At work, we have fantastic catering people. They feed the cast and crew all day, and they’re sensitive to the needs of picky vegetarians like me. They have delicious salads. I keep mine simple: romaine lettuce, avocado, baked tofu, carrots, tomatoes and Asian dressing.
My dad was a theater designer, and I spent a lot of time hanging around the dressing room listening to whatever the actors were listening to, which is where I heard Pink Floyd for the first time.
I miss everything. The field, the dressing room, the training. I miss San Siro. But I was lucky enough to experience good feelings as a player.
My style has definitely evolved. When I first started out I think I was a little all over the place and the clothes kind of wore me rather than the other way round. But now I’m at the point where I’m comfortable dressing for me, I know what works and what I like.
I am very happy. And also, I want to come out to bat in this kind of tough situation when everybody in the dressing room is nervous.
Dressing in an androgynous way, mixing up the masculine and feminine, blurring those boundaries – I’m cool with that. No one should ever be limited by stereotypes of gender, just as no one should ever be limited by stereotypes of race.
Abidal was a player; he is loved by the fans, and that’s why he should know what it’s like inside the dressing room and how players feel.
I speak all my languages basically every day with the people in the dressing room, and it’s a pleasure to be able to do so. On the pitch, if it’s a group of players I’m trying to communicate with, then I use English because you need to make sure everyone understands what you are saying.
Yes, I’ve done a lot of things in life, but I’ve also achieved a lot, I’ve won trophies. When I was at Sunderland I looked through the dressing room and thought ‘who’s won anything substantial here?’. Nobody had and yet they all had a flashy car and an opinion.
I love dressing up. It’s the best part of being a girl, I think.
I’m tired of the industry, tired of playing the whole game – the dressing up, the red carpet. I hate talking about myself.
I’ve been at Chelsea five years and been the butt of many jokes. And I give it back sometimes. That is the beauty of team spirit in a healthy dressing room. I’m not a sensitive, precious person.
Unfortunately, Caesar salad dressing is the worst for you.
I would not dress Katie Price. Ever. It’s important to keep the right look, so it’s important to be dressing the right people.
Whenever I was in the dressing room on my own, I’d start playing blues to myself. One night, Bob Daisley, the bass player, came in and said, ‘You know, Gary, you should make a blues album next. It might be the biggest thing you ever did.’ I laughed. He laughed, too. But I did, and he was right, and it was.
Andres is a genius, and it’s an honour to share the same dressing room. I hope to learn a lot from him. Of course, there is only one Iniesta. I have come here to try to create history of my own and learn from these great players.
I don’t walk around with a bible or preach to people and I don’t want to disturb my team-mates on match days by praying in the dressing room, so I do that at the hotel before I leave. I respect their way of life and do not insist that my way is best. I have not tried to convert anybody.
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I’m past that age.
I like dressing up when I can… but it’s like when someone does my make-up or my hair and I feel uncomfortable or I’m wearing something weird, I just feel like it’s not the best representation of myself.
When I finish dressing before a night out and have put on all the accessories, I usually look at myself in the mirror long and hard and then end up removing something. Whether it’s a belt, bracelet or a bauble, less is always more.
I always get criticized for my clothing because I like wearing jeans and T-shirts. There’s nothing wrong with dressing sexy. It’s just I don’t want to be anything that I’m not. I’m not here to be a fashion icon. I am here to make songs.
I don’t like dressing up. If it were up to me, I’d step out in my shorts and ganji and chappals. The maximum I’d wear are my white shirt and my blue shorts and my shades and I’d step out.
The Americans have their way of talking, their way of dressing, their way of doing things, and we have ours. That’s why this whole U.K. underground thing has become sick, because everyone has finally said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Drake is sick – but hang on, we are too.’
Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butch-acting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.
Like I said, I’ve always been a lazy drag queen. I’m actually a boy and I hate dressing up. I don’t hate it. It’s fun, but it’s not something that I like doing all the time.
Undertaker was always a leader in the dressing room, always a man’s man. No one ever doubted what he said because his word was good. He was a guy that set the dressing room standard. If you had an issue or personal problem, you could go to Undertaker and he would help you.

I like dressing like I’m going on a date when I’m on stage.
Every dressing room should have a few proper bottles of bubbly.
If you’re on a budget, Sweetgreen is a new chain of salad bars that are very good but inexpensive. You choose from a menu or customise your own, with some protein, a healthy salad and a great dressing.
I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it’s good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don’t like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it’s a bit boring.
I think it’s hard to differentiate between your wrestling character and your real character – you kind of end up being both. I’ve always been my wrestling character in and out of the ring and in and out of the dressing room, and I was always really respected in the dressing room by the other wrestlers.
When I was 13 years old, I was dressing in a rap style. And then I changed schools, and the rap style became old-fashioned, so I changed it completely.

The perfect dressing is essential to the perfect salad, and I see no reason whatsoever for using a bottled dressing, which may have been sitting on the grocery shelf for weeks, even months – even years.
I’ve always loved the idea of changing myself, wearing costumes and disguises. It takes you back to being a kid, to dressing up.
For about 30 years, Halloween was taken over by pranksters. By the ’30s, pranks were causing cities millions of dollars of damage. They considered banning Halloween in many cities, but instead, parents got together and came up with party ideas for kids, and a lot of them involved dressing up and costuming.
The appeal of comedy is that you’re not going to look your best. Dressing up or dressing down is something I love and feel very comfortable doing. I feel at my least comfortable when I have to look at my best.
When you have confidence, the atmosphere in the dressing room also improves.
You can’t complain about your dressing room or you’ll look like Celine Dion.
I love dressing up, although that doesn’t mean necessarily on the school run.
In the past, goalies weren’t even part of the team. They had their own dressing room. They didn’t speak with the other team members. They were lone warriors.
I don’t have a set way of dressing or a uniform, though I kind of wish I did. But then again, I also love that I can be any sort of character I want – that’s a little bit of the actress coming out of me.
Winter dressing is all about having chic outerwear.
I’m not good at dressing up fancy; I always just do my thing, which is whatever I’m in the mood for.
I’m 32 now. I’m getting old. It’s gone in the blink of an eye. But I won’t even look back at the number of caps when I’m done: the most important thing will be remembering all the fun I’ve had with the guys in the dressing room and the friends I’ve made.
I like the American style. I love L.A. They have a completely different way of dressing.
The dance commonly begins about the middle of the afternoon or later, after sundown. When it begins in the afternoon, there is always an intermission of an hour or two for supper. The preliminary painting and dressing is usually the work of about two hours.
I love dressing up, but I do find the red carpet thing quite stressful. When I went to Venice Film Festival last month to promote ‘Wuthering Heights,’ I told my boyfriend beforehand ‘I will be a nightmare, I will cry, I will be nervous.’ Actually once I was there, it was fine.
Going from Miami to L.A., it’s such a different scene. In L.A., it’s always dressing to impress. Miami is not, unless you go to South Beach.
When I see old movies with women in floor-length dressing gowns, or when they’re going to the store and they’ve got a pillbox hat with a net over the eyes and white gloves, I’m offended that I can’t go to the store like that.
You can see it right away when a person is dressing outside of who she is.
I did a Coca-Cola commercial when I was about two and a half years old, and then me and my family were extras in a bunch of Westerns. I loved dressing up and stepping into this imaginary world, and it was fun to get outside of my tiny little town with a bunch of movie weirdos.
If you are a girl dressing up in the morning thinking about the whole world having a point of view on what you are wearing, it takes the pleasure out of getting dressed.
I used to be a conscious person in terms of dressing, and I wasn’t comfortable with my body, so I wouldn’t dress in a certain way. Now I am comfortable, and nothing bothers me. Once you are comfortable, everything starts looking good.
Is punk dressing up in leather jackets? No. It’s having a counter-cultural perspective.

I’m cool with people dressing up as Eleven for Halloween. I definitely want to open my door and give them candy.

I haven’t had a chance to decorate my dressing room yet, but I have these pictures of myself as a kid that I want to put up because I said, ‘I really want to make sure that I take that kid with me on this journey.’ I want him to experience this.
I can’t take any credit for people dressing like me, you know?
My parents are actors as well, so I grew up around that world. It was always a very romantic, mythical world. They did a lot of theater, so to me an actor was getting to come backstage and dressing room mirrors with bulbs around them and trying on people’s costumes. It was very exciting to me as a child.
Being partly Italian or, rather, having an Italian last name, I’ve always dreamed of really becoming partly Italian, of eating piles of mouthwatering fettuccine in the piazza, speaking a language that demands music over mumble, and yes, if I’m honest, perhaps dressing a little better.
Red carpets and dressing up are a part of work that I enjoy less than some people.
The first movie I literally ever made in my life was about two guys playing Stratego with each other. I had all my friends dressing up like the military characters in the game. So ‘Battleship’ is really my second board game turned movie!
When I was doing ‘In the Heights,’ I was the co-music supervisor for ‘The Electric Company’ on PBS, so I was writing songs all day, doing the show, staying up until 3 A. M. Writing more songs, recording demos in the intermission in my dressing room.
Dressing up is inevitably a substitute for good ideas. It is no coincidence that technically inept business types are known as ‘suits’.
I was a vocal presence in the dressing room as an 18-year-old at Leeds.
The work my mum does, a lot of it is re-housing homeless people, that’s a real job. I play make-believe and dressing up for a living!
My look is relaxed, and while I love fashion, I don’t obsess about it. I don’t have set rules when it comes to dressing, and I don’t mind where my clothes are from.
A big player coming in can change the dynamics of the dressing room, upset the rhythm of the team and end up doing more harm than good.
I used to watch my mom put her makeup on for the stage, and it was one of the most special moments. I would sit quietly on the dressing room floor and watch her put her face on. I think she looks most beautiful in the morning when she wakes up with no makeup on… it’s my favorite look on women.
Puberty for me was graduating from Thousand Island salad dressing to Caesar salads. It was like going from hot dogs and hamburgers to beef stroganoff, or from ice cream in a cone to creme brulee.
Some actors learn the habit of promoting themselves as a brand – by dressing in a certain way, by going out with a certain person – it gives them what they obviously want, which is to keep a level of fame. I’m not putting it down.
Peter Moores has been very popular in the England dressing room. He’s got a very good record of developing players but I felt that in some areas of international cricket he is a little bit exposed, around tactics and strategy.
I have experience dressing me as a 6, a 12, and more. And when you go above a size 12, you don’t lose your love of fashion.
Since I can remember, being different was always hard around normal people. That’s just how it is, whether you have vitiligo, a deformity, or a different way of thinking or dressing. It’s going to always be weird for normal people.
As a dancer, I am either in something glamorous or I am rocking up to work in a leotard and my pyjamas. Dressing in between is quite difficult.
I love being a woman. I like dressing up; I love buying shoes.
Just as dressing well in your forties entails making choices that reflect who you are and not just wearing generic basics, looking good as you get older requires accentuating and enjoying what’s specific to you rather than striving for cookie-cutter perfection.

I can’t imagine leaving the theatre altogether. My dressing room has become a home from home.
My new dressing goal is to make little kids and babies smile at all the bright, clashing colours I can wear at once. It makes me laugh when I catch sight of my own reflection – life is too short not have fun!
Hate and bigotry should not be carrying a Bible and dressing up like a so called child of God.
I’m sort of a reverse Method actor. In my personal life, I become my characters. After ‘One Tree Hill’, I started dressing in Converse and ripped jeans and hoodies. On ‘Awkward’, it manifests in how I speak.
Acting is a really simple job – it’s just hard to do. You just have to be that person with their background in that situation. That’s all it is. My kids do it all the time when they’re dressing up and playing games.
At 16, I walked around knowing I’d get chased and attacked for dressing a certain way – I felt I had an undeniable right to be who I wanted to be. My father said to hit them back, but I was never much good at that. So I developed a big mouth instead of a quick right hook.
They’re dressing like in the 50’s when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.
Self-esteem doesn’t come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It’s a missed opportunity when women say they don’t have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves.
I’m extremely grateful for the way my career has panned out. My journey thus far has been satisfying and especially as the Style Editor for The Label Life, curating The Power Dressing Edit, knowing we are catering to the modern Indian women.
People tend to think I lack focus. This is probably something they conclude from my trendy dressing style or my hair color. They forget my wins. I guess it’s easy to forget.
With ‘Stones is His Pockets’ you have effectively a bare stage with two actors and yet a whole world in rural Ireland is created. There’s the countryside, the bar interior, the dressing room and the star’s bedroom.
For one thing, my English isn’t fantastic, and communicating in the dressing room is not always easy.
I’d always fantasized about writing a new play. Even when I had all this success in television, what I was daydreaming about in my dressing room is that one day I would do it.
I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.
I have nothing against glamorous dressing.
I don’t want to play stinking, beer-ridden clubs. It depresses me even thinking about that. I really hate it when you’re finished with a show and you’re in your dressing room with that stink of beer and sweaty girls. It brings back an ugly picture for me. I’d hate to have to do that again.
I don’t like getting dressed up. It’s hard because as a woman, as an actor, the whole world wants you to enjoy dressing up.
I like to have personality in my way of dressing. I think being normal is a bit boring.
Dressing up like a woman does not make me less of a man.
I think that T.V. shows are more like working at a home. You know you’re going to the same place every day, working with the same people, the same cast and crew. You’re in a dressing room instead of a trailer, so I think that that’s more of a normal sort of lifestyle.
It’s no secret I like to dress a bit sexy and body-conscious, and as soon as I was pregnant, it was like it was inappropriate to dress the way that I dress. And that really annoyed me. It’s a wrong message that dressing feminine and sexy and being a mother can’t go together.
I love dressing up, though I have to hide my rubbish hair in a hat.
You can get too close as a team. You need time away from each other. You change in the same dressing room, you play on the same cricket field, you stay in the same hotel, you travel in the same planes and buses. C’mon – this business of everyone holding hands and being pally is nonsense.
When I was a kid, dressing right and looking good was a priority. As I grew up, I just wanted to stay that way, stick out a bit and have my own thing. That’s where white belts and wearing some colors started. So signing with Puma was a great fit for me. I usually travel with nine pairs of golf shoes and 10 belts.
A lot of ‘2112’ was written in the back seat of a car and in cold dressing rooms while on tour in northern Ontario.
Most dressing rooms are sterile and they feel like someone else’s space. But over two weeks of previews, before the show officially opens, they transform – filling up with cards, flowers, home comforts.
I sit next to Drogba in the dressing room. I listen all the time because he gives advice.
Without hesitation, I’m voting Emmanuel Macron. Everything about the campaign of Marine Le Pen, despite its dressing of sovereignty, exudes fear and weakness.
I have a personal little routine that I do in my dressing room just to kind of get myself mentally prepared to go on stage, and part of that is a poem that I read to myself.
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn’t label that commercialism; it’s more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
The weight of a fabric is inconsequential, since seasonal dressing is all about layering.
I went to UGA for a quarter. One quarter of my extended university life. I enjoyed it. UGA was a blast. I crashed all the frat parties, dressing like a frat boy, acting like I was one of them. I had too much fun. So I had a good time for the quarter that I was a Bulldog. Go Bulldogs!
I’ve always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it. I just enjoy dressing up and getting all the new sneakers and all the hot exclusive clothes – I did even when I was young.

I’ve been dressing like a girl my entire life!
The feeling of pleasure and enjoyment from what we do is extremely important. It creates trust and respect when you walk into the dressing room or onto the pitch.
I hope people will never stop dressing up as Harry Potter. It feels less to me like something you wear because you think it’s a great costume idea and more like something you wear because you really like wearing your Hogwarts robe, and you really only get the one chance per year.
I think London as a city is so diverse and multicultural, anything goes really. The fashion here reflects that – there are so many different styles of dressing throughout the city. In London, you can be very experimental with fashion; it’s totally accepted, even if you stand out.
I like the challenge of dressing ladies in lots of different things.
When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I’d constantly be that guy who’d get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.
I love dressing up for events; to me it’s almost like wearing a costume for the evening.
I like to create a good atmosphere in the dressing room.
Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they’re casting, they’re dressing the scene, they’re working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they’re also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.
I always liked dressing up. I think, because I always liked performing, I always liked costumes and things like that.
At the beginning of my career I was going through a really weird phase of dressing in boys clothes. I would only wear one American Apparel T-shirt and shorts and brogues the whole year round. Not the same T-shirt, obviously, but one style of American Apparel T-shirt. I think I was going through a tomboy stage.
You have to make decisions that you think are right for the club. I also think that, in the dressing room, there should only ever be one voice and it’s got to be the manager’s.
I don’t see my season with Dortmund negatively. There were some real problems there in the dressing room and they were going through a generation change.
If we’re willing to accept unlimited immigration in order to keep wages low and corporate profits high, we should just say so and stop paying for all the immigration enforcement window dressing.
When hip-hop came along, men and women started dressing down as a form of rebellion.
I think that a costume can really help in embodying a character. So dressing up in something completely different to what you would usually wear is so new and refreshing.

I don’t think a lot of artists have the freedom that I have when it comes to dressing in general.
I did an episode on my talk show on cellulite, and I brought seven women into a dressing room at Nordstrom’s in L.A., and we all sat and talked about our cellulite.
A dressing room is both a personal space and a workspace. It changes with the flick of a switch: turn on the relay – the speaker linked to microphones in the auditorium – and you’re at work; when that’s off, it’s your sanctuary.
When I did ‘Racing Demon’ by David Hare, I worked with Paul Giamatti, who had stacks of books in his dressing room. I was offstage a lot, so I would go read in his room. He was reading a four-part series on the Byzantine Empire by Alexander A. Vasiliev. I read two of those during the run of the play.
There were times we were kept in our dressing room until late at night because it wasn’t safe to go home. Our bus would get attacked, the tires slit.
After ‘UNCLE,’ I never accepted the first offer: if I wanted more money, I asked for it. A better dressing room? Four first-class tickets instead of two? I’d ask for them, and I’d often get them.
All my teammates, whether they’ve been playing with me or sitting on the bench and not dressing, they’ve supported me. I don’t think I’d be too good a person if I didn’t do at least the bare minimum of the same.
I love dressing up and I love looking good.
In TV, you get driven to work in a luxury car, and find flowers in your dressing room. Then suddenly you’re on tour, drying your hair backstage on plastic curtains.
Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There’s nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman – fat, thin, or in between – that she’s a freak.
In the dressing room, you can never lose that group concept.
You never think about someone dressing up as you for Halloween.
I really enjoy everything about this profession. From the training I do preparing for my matches, to the time I spend in the dressing room getting ready, right up until I make my entrance to the ring and the final bell rings.
In the dressing room there is nothing better than when a good player walks through the door and the guys say ‘I’m glad he’s come along.’
Obviously, there will be different character traits in the dressing room, but I’m there to bring happiness and a smile.
When you go onstage, the process of getting you from the dressing room to the stage is all about ego.
I’ve often been accused of dressing too well. I’ve always been fascinated by fashion, though I don’t think I’m particularly fashionable.
I like to be comfortable, but I do enjoy being a British gent and dressing up a bit.
I do not like going to the dressing room and trying on millions of outfits. I just look at something and hope that it will work. I try it on at home, since I don’t like going through the whole process.
I’m really not good at dressing up and being glamorous.
Being pretty… I’m just confused about it. I mean, I love getting my nails done, but I also like dressing like a boy. I think I feel most myself when I’m mixing femininity and masculinity. Like, fifty-fifty.
I started being a photographer because I liked fashion. I liked the idea of dressing up and changing my look. I got earrings, dyed my hair. I would dress like a fashion photo.
A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.
No matter what it is you are cooking, buy the best ingredients you can afford. I don’t care if it’s a simple salad or Beef Wellington. A quality product stands alone and won’t need any dressing up.
