It’s not hard to get your way when it’s your way or the highway. People either follow suit or they’re not around. I don’t really like the sound of that, ’cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. I’m just very black and white when it comes to my business. There’s really no gray area.
All the time, you’re going into your modeling agency and they’re taking Polaroids of you in a bathing suit. It was not something that was wonderful for me. It offered a lot of really great opportunities for me. But ultimately, it’s a hard job because it’s based solely on what your body looks like, what you look like.
As with any outfit, the primary elements of normcore are fit, color, and texture, all of which must match both normcore’s loose silhouette, and at the same time, suit your body. Above all else, it’s about comfort. So if it doesn’t look effortless and easy, it’s not normcore.

I think the U.S. Open just doesn’t suit my personality. I’m more of a calm person. There, it’s noisy all day, cars are everywhere, and it takes so long to get to the site. I know that those things shouldn’t matter when you’re playing, but I just find they drain your energy.
I need to make things mine. It annoys me to buy something that is imposed on me. When I have a suit made, I go to the Sicilian tailor Alessandro Martorana in Turin. I like shorter jacket sleeves and often fold the cuffs up. It’s more modern that way.
I don’t want to look like Daisy Duke every day. I don’t want to wear a bathing suit every day.

It’s really hard on the poor Skid Row bums. They are getting the shock of their lives. There they are, lying peacefully in the gutter, not bothering anybody, and they look up and see a man in a red and blue spider suit go by. It’s enough to make them goon the wagon.

We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can’t, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.
Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don’t understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn’t like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It’s the kind of a life a decent man leads, it’s something to live for and to die for.
I never liked the trucking business. I did not intend to spend time in the trucking business. I was a professional, I wore a suit everyday. I was going into law school, or Wall Street or to get my MBA. That’s where my head was at.
A perfectly tailored gray one-and-a-half-breasted blazer or suit. I travel often, and this is something I must always have with me. It must always accentuate the shoulders and chest, to create a more flattering look.
