When I Was A Kid, I Thought

I Was The Sensitive, Shy Kid That Was Teased A Lot. I Was Very Definitely Bullied. I Mean, From An Early Age, I Dressed More Like An Adult, You Know, Jackets And Very Slim Trousers And A Raincoat. And I - Even When I Was 7, 8, 9-years-old, Carried An Attache Case To School Because I Just Hated The Sloppiness Of A Book Bag.

You Have To Look Inside Yourself And You Have To Say, Well, What Am I About? Why Does Anyone Need This? Why Does Anyone Need A 'tom Ford' Jacket? What Do I Believe In?

The U.s. Used To Be Perceived As The Moral Leader Of The World, And We Have Absolutely Lost That.

Dressing Well Is A Kind Of Good Manners, If You Ask Me. When You're Standing In A Room, Your Effect Is The Same As A Chair's Effect, Or A Sculpture's. You're Part Of Someone's View, You're Part Of That World, And So You Should Dress Well. I Find It's A Show Of Respect To Try To Put On Your Best Face And Look As Good As You Can.

If My Parents Had Discouraged Me, I Would Have Turned Out Very Differently. They Raised Me In An Open-minded, Liberal Environment.
