"I think what you're wearing is how you're feeling. If you're feeling good you're wearing something a little more slick, a little tighter, a little more confident. When I go on stage, depending on the gig, I'm not going to go fully leathered out at some sort of intimate – I don't know – lounge kind of setting. I'm going to do it a little different than if I was going to play CBGB's or The Whiskey or some big club like House of Blues."

"I like the way Maroon 5 dresses, I like the way, especially that last record it was like really cool, it was like cool rock and roll, but sort of slick and dressed up, Scott Weiland dresses great and always has…uhm, I gotta be honest, somebody is dressing the Jonas Brothers really well.”

"I do love the royal blue of the Greek flag. And in fact my fans often get me things in that color or get me things with a Greek theme to it. I’ve sort of exposed them to this whole other culture – and they’ve gone to great lengths to be a part of it. They go to events I’m doing, they show up at festivals, they donate money and shit.”

"My parents, I was mooching off of them and they didn't have anything. We had the smallest house in town. But I got into the corduroys and hiking boots thing, and even picking through my brother's stuff, I wore it with flair."

"Both my parents worked, and you know we didn’t have much. I’m definitely from a blue collar family. My mother has a wonderful sense of style---and this place is sick! You could just shop all the time."

"Listen man, the right woman can pull off anything. You know if she’s confident and beautiful and comfortable in her own skin, she can be wearing a smock and pull it off. For instance this very naturally pretty girl just walked in and she’s got a little t-shirt on, cute skinny jeans, flats and like a little sweater and it’s all about her."

"There were metal heads in my school; cut off denim jackets with rock and roll patches and Dokken t-shirts cut out that they pinned onto the back of their denim jackets. They had the high wasted Metallica black jeans with six spiked belts and concert t-shirts all ripped up and tattoos and headbands. I thought that was the coolest, but my mother would've beat the f--k out of me if I ever dressed like that, no question."

"I like those downtown girls that can do the complicated fashion forward stuff and then whip out a dress and knock your eyes out. You can take em home to mom and the family wedding and no one will know that she just had her converse and her skinny jeans on hours before.”

"There’s a lot of straight people in theater, and I think broadway more than ever now has crossed over into the film industry. It’s really been the most exciting season on Broadway in many, many years. An exceptionally successful season, too. They grossed a billion dollars this year."

"If you really look at it, all the high end suits by anyone from Armani to Versace, all they end up doing is replicating first the 1920's then the 1970's and then it goes back to the '40's and then it goes to the '60's 'Mad Men', the whole Kennedy era. Then it's like a flapper look again. It's all cyclical in fashion."

"People were kind of throwing things together in the '80's, grabbing your mom's really insane necklaces and bracelets and putting forty of them on one arm and your dad's tie and tying it up in your hair. I guess it started with the poor kids, that that was all they could really afford, the punk rock kids on the street. Then it became so mainstream. It's happening again. It's weird."

"There was this moment in the show last night where I sang this insanely long and high note and then everyone screamed and at the tail end of it someone said, ‘Why didn’t he sing that good on American Idol?’ And then everyone started laughing. And then I kind of looked at him and raised an eyebrow and everyone went crazy."
