Records have never really been my strong suit. I’ve always been a much better live act. I didn’t understand the language of the studio. You sing differently in a studio. The language, the craft – it’s just a whole different deal. I avoided the problem on my first record by doing a live album.
For me, a Thom Browne suit is an investment.
I’m not a fashion architect. I don’t dress in Ralph Lauren and Gucci. When I buy a suit, I buy it at J. Press. I have a blue blazer that I wear 80 percent of the time.
I learned patience. I’m not a real patient guy, but with me trusting in my coach, my managers and my team, I just trust the process and just continue to stay patient and just follow suit.
Idling is not my strong suit.
Whether it’s t-shirt and jeans or full monster suit, I’m still an actor underneath it all, and a good director is going to know that.
I’m not just somebody shuffling around in a monster suit. I’m a kind of puppeteer from the inside who is attempting through arm and body movements to give the creatures I play a sense of personality.
People suit their star sign. If someone is annoying me over and over, and I know they’re a Sagittarius, say, I’m more likely to forgive them. It comes down to my need for structure as a way of finding my bearings with people.
I saw Boy George looking amazing, absolutely unbelievable, and messaged him asking for the number of his nutritionist. I got in touch with her, and she put me on this diet plan, working out which foods do and don’t suit me. It’s not rocket science – basically, don’t eat cake, don’t eat bread.
First time I looked at a Formula One car in person, I just stared at the cockpit, figuring I’d never get in there. The drivers wear the whole car like a tight-fitting suit.
I’ve actually had tailors tell me they’ve had young men saying they want to get a suit like The Hurt Business.
I often go to bed in my birthday suit. But I like teddies and cute little undies that match. I like a sexy bra and panty set, or little shorts.
I like to think of deviled eggs as a suit. The egg white and filling are like the jacket and pants – they’re the main attraction, and the part that the egg is largely going to be judged by.
I like to stay away from that red carpet world unless I absolutely have to do it. I’d rather put on my Tom Ford suit and take a few pictures at home.
I’m not one of those crazy collectors – I don’t have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we’re on the road and I’m wearing a nice suit.
Every now and then, when I think about it, I think, ‘What would I even talk about onstage?’ It’s never been, ‘I wonder if I’m funny. I wonder if I can come up with jokes.’ It’s more, ‘What would it be like without the leather suit and the anger?’
The first time I tried on Shang-Chi’s superhero suit – Marvel has never had an Asian lead, so that was such a rare and impactful moment, for me as an actor but also for people who look like me. I nearly cried. It was so emotional.
In your 40s, you kind of know how things are likely to go, and you’re better at saying, ‘You know what? That just doesn’t suit me…’ I remember thinking in my 30s, ‘I should go to Burning Man. I could be a Burning Man person.’ And in my 40s, I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m never going to go to Burning Man.’
I always wear a suit jacket, a smart blouse or a top, with my hair and make-up done. Under the desk, what no one knows, is that I’m wearing jeans and trainers.
I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn’t really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.
I didn’t think of my job as wanting roles I want to do but roles that suit me.
The suit is the polite taming, the socialising, the neutering, of riding and military kit. Those pointless buttons on the cuff were moved from lateral to vertical.
I see a lot of young guys going back to the suit, but they’re doing it in a way that’s less of a uniform.
I guess I found the life as a musician too counterproductive, as so much time was spent in tour buses & remote hotel rooms. As I am moderately hyperactive, this didn’t suit my temper.
I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
You absolutely know you’re in space when you’re doing a spacewalk. That was pretty interesting because you can feel vacuum. It actually changes your vocal cords because the pressure inside the suit drops quite a bit, so your voice feels different.
I have always wanted to play in the Premier League because I am a fast, strong player, and I think it will suit me.
I like the way I look in a suit, and I wish I owned more. Actually, I wish I owned suits that fit me, I should say. You can buy off the rack and think, ‘Oh, this is perfect.’ But then you get a tailor-made suit for you, and it’s a whole different animal. You don’t just look good in a suit, you feel good in a suit.
The main thing is healthy eating, exercise, which I do for special events, like if it’s Sports Illustrated, or the swim suit catalogue for Victoria’s Secret, or my own calendar that I did for the year 2000.
Because in both TV and film every story under the sun is being told, and so music shouldn’t be restricted to have to follow, like, the John Williams template or something. I love John Williams, but that sound doesn’t suit every story.
Hollywood wouldn’t suit me. In L.A. it’s all about work – studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, ‘Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.’ You just feel very self-conscious there.
Scent is very important. Strong fragrances suit some men, while citrus types suit others. I like my men to smell fresh and woody, but also like a man.
Jiu-jitsu is my strong suit, but I trust my wrestling and my striking.
You know, this idea of going around the world imposing democracy by growing a middle-class, a trading merchant class that is independent of your faith, is a good notion, but we’re all partially different – it’s no good imposing systems on people that it doesn’t suit.
A surprising number of government committees will make important decisions on fundamental matters with less attention than each individual would give to buying a suit.
I just say throw on your bathing suit or the shortest shorts you own regardless of your size and rock it.
As a 6’5′ guy, the suit fit is extremely important. Getting a suit made for my body means it will fit in all the right places. For me, I look for a suit that fits well in the arms and shoulders and allows me to move… after all, I’m a fighter, so it needs to give me room to breathe.
Fashion once meant dresses and heels, and I didn’t know why I’d want to be dressed that way. Now I’m like, ‘Oh my God, those Saint Laurent boots!’ Those are not words I thought I’d ever say. A beautiful suit is nice. I get fashion now. In fact, I love it.
They put me in a whole body suit, from my neck to my ankles. It was so bad, I couldn’t straighten my legs.
Growing up, I thought wearing a suit was a burden.
The egoist is fooled by no ideals: he discards them or uses them, as may suit his own interest.
You have a different crowd every night, so you should do a different show to suit them. I tailor the show to their mood.
I was young and I didn’t know much at that time and ended up choosing characters which were not suitable for me. Now, I know what type of roles suit me.
My suit collection is very diverse. I love my suit collection. But yeah, my casual wear’s more me. I actually pick out what I wear casually. My stylist does all of my suits, I need help in that category.
Lipstick doesn’t really suit me. For shoots or when I go out, I use it – but if I use it all the time, it makes me look really old, so I keep it natural with nude or a natural pink. Though I did just do a shoot where they did a big red lip, and it looked amazing.
For me, what takes up most of the space in my closet are suits. I wear a lot of suits and jackets. But I think every man needs a black suit at home. You can never go wrong in a black suit. But in terms of style, I think it’s about being comfortable in what you wear.
I haven’t worn one for a long time, but I look pretty good in a suit.
At one-sixth gravity in that suit, you have to move in a different way.
I love red. Red pants. Red suit. Red coat. Red anything.
If I’ve got an event coming up, I might buy myself a new suit. I prefer wearing suits to dresses – I reckon I’ve got about 15.
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
I’m Mickey Mouse. They don’t know who’s inside the suit.
It’s a lot easier to get a suit than it is to get a coach.
It was close to like a 67- or 70-day shoot for ‘Tron’ on stage, in the suit. You can’t even sit down during the day because of all the cables that divide the foam rubber and all the electrical circuits. We had these stools that were tall with a bicycle seat on them and you’re just looking at a blue screen all day.
I don’t wear strappy tops. Everyone feels self-conscious about something on their body. It’s just finding a style that works for you, and I don’t really suit strappy tops or dresses, so I avoid them.
