LeRoy Neiman Quotes

We're all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don't spend any time, or think they don't, on preparing themselves for the world out there - I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.

I think anyone doing an interview is to some extent on show. And therefore, we always want to put on our best face.

I'm glad I can present a polished version of myself when it counts.

I've always summed up my definition of fashion as the way that people present themselves on the public stage.

We lie to one another every day, in the sweetest way, often unconsciously. We dress ourselves and compose ourselves in order to present ourselves to one another.
