I think a lot of African-American kids don’t have fathers to teach them how to dress, so you end up being taught by pictures in magazine and movies. You see cowboys, Indians, old Hollywood films, Cary Grant. It has an effect on you.

My performance outfits are very Marie Antoinette, sparkly corsets… and full skirts. And then we do another look that’s ’50s-inspired. Poufy skirts, big bows. Very fun, girlie and young, but otherwise, when I’m not in costume, I dress really normal.
My one big rule for the over-40s is don’t try to dress like an 18-year-old. It’s possible to be ‘on-trend’ when you’re older – you just have to look for the right stuff. You don’t have to spend a fortune, either.

I have never, for a single moment, been aware of pressure from anyone in television about how I dress, what my shape is or how I speak. I’ve always written my own scripts. I’ve always been the first to point out that I need to be fit. I need to look good.

Generally speaking, I’m a jeans, T-shirt and boots man but I do own an Armani suit, which gets a regular outing. It’s nothing fancy – just a classic, well-cut suit with clean lines and beautiful tailoring. It’s timeless and you can mix and match it with anything to dress up or dress down.

I dress the way I want. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not.

One nice thing that I have discovered about Los Angeles is the enthusiasm with which people dress.
Style is not something applied. It is something that permeates. It is of the nature of that in which it is found, whether the poem, the manner of a god, the bearing of a man. It is not a dress.
