It is difficult to remember just how formal middle-class life was in the 1930’s and ’40s. I wore a suit and tie at home from the age of 18. One dressed for breakfast. One lived in a very formal way, and emotions were not paraded. And my childhood was not unusual.
I was a total floral hippie as a child so when I finally could make my own choices, I’ve been living in different black suit jackets and been really drawn to masculine clothes.

There’s no way to escape the culture that has evolved, from which we ourselves have evolved. Naturally, we stress it, break it up, reassemble it to suit our own needs. But it is there – a source of vital strength.
I love a good suit. I dont often get to wear one, but if I have a presenting gig, I make sure everything is crisp.
I’m an athlete, so giving a suit a casual look is important to me. Sometimes I wear sneakers with my suit or I will wear a blazer, tie and collared shirt with jeans.
Critics? How do they happen? I know how it happened to me. I would send a poem or story to a magazine and they would say this doesn’t suit our needs precisely but on the other hand you sound interesting. Would you be interested in doing a review?
I think I created my particular stage persona out of my dad’s life, and perhaps I even built it to suit him to some degree.
I directed 24’s pilot. I felt we should follow the characters around as if we were a documentary crew, using available light, hand-held cameras, split screens, sound that isn’t always what it should be, to suit the reality of the premise.
I think I look better in a suit than a loincloth. So that may define some of the parts I play.

‘Suit’ garnered a lot of appreciation and love from the audience, and it gives me immense happiness to start my Bollywood journey with such a wonderful track. ‘Hindi Medium’ posed a perfect and appropriate opportunity to showcase my song and ensure that the beautiful track reaches the global audience.
If somebody had told me in the 1980s that Gerry Adams would shake hands with Ian Paisley or Peter Robinson I would have said put that man in a white suit and lock him up in a padded cell.

We are finally entering an exciting time in medicine where we have the technology to custom-tailor treatment and preventive protocols just as we’d custom-tailor a suit or designer gown to one’s individual body.

I never knew what I even looked like in a suit before I worked at ‘Saturday Night Live.’
He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.
If Iran becomes a nuclear weapon state it is the end of non-proliferation as we know it. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon you are likely to see Saudi, Egypt and other countries follow suit and we will bequeath to the next generation a nuclear arms race in the world’s most unstable region.
For me, I don’t go, ‘Let me walk into this person’s home. I don’t care who they are, I’m going to put them in a Dolce & Gabbana suit, and I really want them to have a pink shirt.’
Building a proper wardrobe is like building a home. Indeed, you should think of it like a home, because it is something you’re going to live in. It must be comfortable and suit all your needs.

There was a period in music that didn’t suit what I did. I didn’t fit in.
I’d rather get a nice warmup suit. That’s something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.
In an ordinary suit and tie, I’d look like a little macho. I’d be ridiculous.
It’s all about the script. I don’t want to do something which makes me feel uncomfortable. It should suit my image and age.
Even though my approach is slightly different, the Luke Cage of ‘Jessica Jones’ is no stranger to the Luke Cage of Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage.’ It’s really a continuation to a certain extent. It’s just got a little different flavor, but it’s still the same suit.
I have a friend who only buttons the bottom button of his suit jacket, which you’re not supposed to do. ‘Supposed to do.’ But it’s his thing, and it’s his personal style, and it’s like you’ve got to honor that. People can do whatever they want.
Now I’m way into suits that I can put on whether I took a shower or not, and wear barefoot and paint my toes black or whatever color the suit is. It’s very cool to wear suits like that. Roll up the sleeves and just say yee-haw.
There were times when I’d go to lawyer auditions, and everyone’s in a suit, and I’m covered in concrete and paint.
If you want to be promoted into the first league of carmakers, then you can’t just follow suit.
We are starting off with our own different characters and our own laws and everything, looking at Bruce Wayne and how he came to be the person that he was and how he comes to be this man that jumps around in the Bat suit.
Cuttino Mobbley always had on suits every single game. I’ve never seen Cuttino without a suit. He used to always have on suits.
Of course, I tweet. Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
I have a rule: I will not alter the basic history of a real-life character to suit our fictional needs in a big way.

My mother bought me a brand new suit for going away to college. We were poor, but she wanted me to have that. It was a powder blue suit with peg pants – you know, skinny at the bottom. I think I made quite an impression with that.
Always wear a good watch, no matter what if you are wearing a suit or sweats. A good watch will hold value over time. It’s not about the brightest or the biggest diamonds, it’s about quality mechanisms, the heritage of the company you’re buying it from.
I think you have to be more flexible to be a pro coach because once you pay the guy the money, whether he can backpedal the way you want him to or whatever, his style of play may not suit you, but you still are going to play him, and he is going to be a part of your team.
When you start thinking it is a party instead of putting your suit and tie on and getting your job done and handling your business, you are thinking about the wrong thing.
You can’t trust your memory. You change it to suit yourself.
I went to high school, and I started getting bullied because I was very weird. I mean, freshman year I went to school in a pirate suit – I just didn’t care. I’m not like the cool girls – I’m the other girl. The one that’s basically a nerd, but proud of that.
I was Danny Zuko in ‘Grease,’ and I was in the musical ‘Sweet Charity’ and then in the musical ‘On the Twentieth Century.’ They were great. I mean, singing isn’t really my strong suit, but I just really enjoyed it.
I wore a green suit and green polo-neck to the ‘Shrill’ premiere. I loved it because on paper it sounds disgusting, but I managed to pull it off!
Father had notions about manhood suffrage, public schools, the education and the elevation of the masses, and the gradual emancipation of the slaves, that did not suit the uncompromising views of people in places like Richmond.
I tend to keep my suit look casual but I like a good pocket square. It can change the look of any suit and give it an ‘old school’ feel. My preference is to make the square unique – different from the tie and suit color, so it really pops.
Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

I started collecting couture when I was about 10 or 11 years old, and the very first piece I bought was a Balenciaga suit from 1962.
I’ll be giving a speech at the randomest place, like a bank or something, and a guy in a suit will say, ‘I’m totally freaked out that I’m talking to the girl from ‘Cremaster.’ For the rest of my life, that movie will be playing in a museum somewhere. I never could have expected that huge response.
