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.
Rafa Benitez – man with huge experience who knew how the club operated – could not get the results Real wanted and couldn’t walk away from the fights that erupted in the dressing room and the boardroom.
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.
When I’m dressing down, it’s simple: I want a good cut, no logos, and usually quite dark colors. My wardrobe is pretty much black, gray, and navy, with a little bit of white.
I love dressing up for the red carpet.
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.
Roman loves Chelsea. He enjoyed being in the dressing room with us players. He would have loved to have been one of the lads. When he didn’t have time because of other obligations and we hadn’t seen him in a long time, we were always worried about him.
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.
I don’t socialize in drag anymore. If I’m in drag, I’m usually onstage or in the dressing room or in a car service.
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.
