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.

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 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.
Sometimes I’ll just feel like wearing all black and being really chill, some days I like dressing boyish and then other days I wanna get really dressed up and be girlie. My wardrobe is all over the place.
You ask the guys in the dressing room, I am a very bad loser.
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.

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.
