To those of you who are wearing ties I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.

When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick my dad would ask 'Are you wearing makeup?' I would say back 'You're wearing more makeup there than I am!'

My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together and eventually eating charred sausages feeling brilliant.

After graduating from flares and platforms in the early 1970s I started drama school wearing a pair of khaki dungarees with one of my Dad's Army shirts accessorised by a cat's basket doubling as a handbag. Very Lady Gaga.

I like so much wearing heels legs look so much better everything looks better. But it's only recently I've had the courage to do that.

When you think back to your first kiss your hair is perfect and she was wearing a cool outfit. We remember it with restraint and we remember it with style. We remember it as idealistically as you can think.

In New York City you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.

All I know is that I've ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings and now I realize that's not cool anymore.

Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh but the way they carry themselves how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it that's what makes it cool.

I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.

I'd be happy to be taken as a woman - and that's what I was initially trying to do when I started throwing on dresses and stuff. But that wasn't going to happen because everyone kept calling me sir. So I thought I'd change the method and just start wearing what I wanted to wear.

It's been really fun to see with each album when I change to see the fans of the show emulate my style and with the first record a lot of the kids in the crowd were wearing neck ties like I was and now you'll see a lot of girls with pink hair. It's cool it's actually really neat.

Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results.

People would say you look weak if you're not cursing the opposition and driving around in a big black car while always wearing a tie. Above all to be 'strong' you're always supposed to be giving orders.

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh I was proud.

Suits are looked at more now as a business thing which is kind of a shame. If you're not wearing it just for work you should try and trick it up a bit.

To me business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent and there were 150 people waiting for me all wearing masks of my face.

If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye she's wearing your best sweater.

When you look good you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important. If you feel good you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction and the creative potential within that.

These people are amazing. It's so emotional I was thinking about wearing waterproof mascara.

Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&G dresses. I wear hats a lot too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.

If you saw Queen Elizabeth it would be amazing she came from another planet. She was so attractive in what she was wearing.
