I did almost every job in the bank. It was real life, waking up in the morning, putting on a suit and tie and then having to go to work.
Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.
My father was a corporate lawyer. He went to work in a suit and tie. He had a secretary. He left the house before seven A.M. His professional life felt generic, like a backdrop, a signifier more than a life: office job.
I'm not a suit and tie kind of guy. I wear a suit once a year, for the Hall of Fame, or if I have to go to a funeral or something. It's just not me.
If you want to do a talk show on network television, you're probably going to wind up having a desk and a band, wearing a suit, and having a sidekick. Audiences want to feel comfortable.
I'm not normally big on suits.
Unless you are a lawyer or Fortune 500 CEO, carrying a briefcase is, well, nerdy.
Most of the people interviewing me are far more square than me. I think it's the ET thing. I'm sitting there, my hair is combed, and I'm in a suit.
I never go black tie. I never grew up wearing ties or bow ties or anything.
A red tie is contrary to the dignity of the tie and of male dress in general.
In the modern world there's no such thing as formality. A dinner jacket used to mean a tuxedo, you know?
My uniform: grey suit, white shirt, grey tie and tie bar, grey cardigan and black wingtips.
Maybe they invited me because they know I have a tuxedo
You've got to have the right attire for the right event. I attend a lot of dinners, a lot of concerts, and I have to be on the red carpet; each has its own dress code, and I have to be prepared. Jeans and a hoodie are great for a concert, but a dinner party?
I do wear suits all the time.
Obviously if you are an accountant, a criminal lawyer, a president, or a senator, or if you work in a funeral parlor, you have to wear a tie, but more and more people are wearing very casual clothes.
I never owned a suit until after the election. I got married in jeans and boots. My wife and I, when we went to prom, I was in a pair of jeans.
Growing up, I thought wearing a suit was a burden.
