There’s something about putting on a new pair of shoes or a new shirt that gives you a new joy.
I’m kind of in the middle as far as being a risk-taker and playing it safe. I dress more conservatively, but I’m also eclectic. I can do jeans with ripped holes and flats in the daytime, but I love putting on a great pair of stilettos with amazing leather pants.
To make the hips the focal point of a pair of trousers is, to me, a fashion mistake.
The mechanic could lift up the bonnet of the car and show me four dwarves strapped to a pair of tandems and tell me that the motor was actually dwarf-powered and that one of the little fellows had to be replaced, and I’d just be numbly writing out a cheque and scribbling ‘new dwarf – car’ on the stub.
Whenever I go shopping with my wife, all I ever seem to come home with is a new pair of shoes.
I understand that if I really need my hair to be nice, now I hire someone to do it, and I understand that putting on a pair of heels really makes a difference.
I’m addicted to something at all times. Like, it’s always music, but maybe sometimes it’s a pair of pants or something else. That’s just how my personality works.
When I pair food and wine, I start with the food. If I have a beautiful roasted bird, I might choose a Cabernet or Pinot Noir, or maybe a Syrah, depending on the sauce and what is in my cellar.
Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter – you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.
Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.
Paris could go to Patricia Field, find a pair of pants or a skirt, and then she would pair it with one of my good jackets. She was quite the character in the day.
I like comfy feet. If I’m not barefoot, you’ll probably find me with a pair of New Balance on.
You were cool if you had on a pair of Air Force 1s. It’s still a staple for me while on tour.
Bron gave me a pair of his LeBron 1s in my size, the original Air Zoom Generation ones. My favorites are Jordan 1s, 11s and any kind of Air Maxes.
Well, obviously I’m not Mark Wahlberg – I have much better abs and I look much better in a pair of Calvin Kleins but when I saw Mark Wahlberg interacting with the world, I realised that his stardom was sort of a result of the movies he had done and the publicity that he had got and the work that he did.
I just believe you make the best of what you have. So I have to duck through a few doorways or wait a little bit extra to find a new pair of pants. I think it’s worth it.
I feel like shoes are one of those things that no matter how conservative or how outrageous you get, a good pair of shoes is going to last you a lifetime.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.
I’ve always been somebody who would put together an outfit, and my go-to accessory would be a pair of sunglasses.

Left to their own devices, men would wear trainers with a pair of stonewashed jeans and would think nothing of throwing on a donkey jacket.
A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in a white suit with a pair of binoculars.
I got a pair of roller skates for Christmas when I was 4 or 5 or something, so I had a pair as kid. But I also lived on a gravel road so I wasn’t really skating up and down the street.
I feel like a good pair of diamond studs goes a long way. They make everything look dressy, and you just seem more put together.
My parents strapped a pair of plastic skis on my boots when I was two years old and sent me down our driveway in Vail. Of course, they were holding on to me the whole time, but that was my first experience ‘skiing.’
Theater is a living creature. It takes a while to break in, like a new pair of shoes.
While it’s typical to find steamed clam recipes which include a bit of bacon or sausage, you might not think of adding shredded ham hock, but it’s another way to pair the lusty, smoky flavor of animal fat with the briny ocean flavor of shellfish.
A nice pair of Jimmy Choos never hurt anyone.
I became a chalet girl for one simple reason: I couldn’t afford to go skiing. I had got the bug when I worked as an au pair in the Alps, before university.
A fan sent me a pair of fluffy winter socks, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. I’ll wear them to bed. It’s cold; it’s winter.’ But they were worn. They were black underneath, and they stunk, and I hate feet. She was like, ‘I’m giving you my favorite pair.’
For my confirmation, I didn’t get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.
When I went for my medical school interview, I had an old paperback of ‘Henderson the Rain King’ in the pocket of my coat. I was wearing the best clothes I had – a pair of cords and a sport coat – but when I got to the office, all the other interviewees were lined up in their black suits.
When I first moved to Paris, I worked as an au pair for two girls aged eight and 11.
I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they’re nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.
My favorite pair of shoes I’ve worn for a role would have to be the brown Vera Wang combat boots that Jo wears in her everyday life away from the hospital on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ I love them because they are also something I would wear in my everyday life.
My entire life, I just wanted a pony, and I couldn’t care less about a pair of shoes.
I have close to 300 pairs of shoes. I’m fortunate enough to be in a position to get any shoes I want. So I have a pretty nice collection. It’s pretty valuable. It’s funny when sometimes I buy a pair of shoes and I look on eBay and it’s already selling for $500. I just wanted to buy those shoes to wear them!
This is the kind of fashion I grew up on – a good pair of trainers, great denim – and I will always love high-end streetwear.
I think it’s difficult to do fashion for men, because either you become very over-homosexual fashion or very boring fashion. You don’t want a boy who looks 15 in a little pair of shorts with some strange art… But to see just a jacket and tie is boring.
I am inspired by anything beautiful. Sometime it’s a pair of eyes or flowing gorgeous hair, other times it’s the sky or a sunset. I’ve been inspired by supple skin or the texture of a soft shirt.

I want to make a sexy pair of Foams for women.
My favourite accessory is a pair of long purple leather gloves.
Paul Taylor’s ‘Offenbach Overtures’ has lots of zip and charm, and its pair of dueling soldiers in red, who end up starry-eyed about each other while their disgusted seconds take up the quarrel, is nonstop funny.
I think what’s fabulous about ‘Living the Dream’ is that accidents happen to them and they’ve got dramas and pitfalls to get through, but they do it as a united pair.
I like a bit quirky, a bit strange, but then at the same time, I love putting a dress on… and a pair of high heels. It’s like a costume.
I like sunglasses, the bigger the better, but I lose about a pair a week.
For each chromosome contributed by the sperm there is a corresponding chromosome contributed by the egg, there are two chromosomes of each kind, which together constitute a pair.
I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set; the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.
I think I would have one favourite jacket, one favourite pair of sneakers – like, from every kind of thing I do have my favourite – but they’re often the things I wear the least because I just want to keep them nice, so I don’t really tend to wear them as much.
I always wear a pair of colored jeans and fun boots. I have a really cute pair of stars-and-stripes Converse, and I love wearing all my bright Nike shoes.
What we should care about is health – reduction of morbidity and mortality. Too often, we instead pay attention to whether something is ‘normal.’ A hospital may spend several million dollars separating a pair of conjoined twins, even though that separation is likely to leave them worse off.
When you’re buying a pair of TOMS, if you don’t feel like you’re part of a community, then I’ve failed.
The problem is no longer that with every pair of hands that comes into the world there comes a hungry stomach. Rather it is that, attached to those hands are sharp elbows.
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
I had no idea that all the things in my career were going to happen. I sure didn’t see it. I just know the good Lord blessed me with ability, blessed me with good eyesight and a good pair of hands, and then I worked at the rest.
One of the earliest institutions in every New England community was a pair of stocks. The first public building was a meeting-house, but often before any house of God was builded, the devil got his restraining engine.
