I have a great body, I really do. But I want to be taken seriously as an artist, and wearing anything that shows it off will be a distraction from the music. That's how my signature uniform, my tuxedo, came about. It's classic and timeless. You'll see me in black, white, and a pop of color on my lips. That pop adds a little magic.

Just because you put a guy in a tuxedo doesn't make him a good guy.

You're dressed in a tuxedo, you wear a bow tie. A bow tie with a tuxedo is more formal than a straight tie with a tuxedo.

You put a tuxedo on me, it's like putting a saddle on a hog.

Bob Parsons

Sad You Tuxedo

Everybody can remember outfits like Celine Dion's backwards Dior tuxedo... these 'worst' dresses become part of pop culture, and we keep referencing them.

I'm Canadian, so I'm a big fan of the Canadian tuxedo - that's what we call it. I wear it all the time.

Brad Goreski

Time Wear Tuxedo

I don't have a tuxedo that fits anymore because my chest and my biceps are too big.

Charlie Sheen

Use Us Tuxedo

Once we played for the Princess of Monaco in Paris. We were the biggest ducks ever, wearing rented tuxedos. We trashed the party, took a bunch of girls and champagne in limos underneath the Eiffel Tower, and set up an acoustic show. It was like a Hilary Duff movie.

Conrad Sewell

I'm not afraid of the Canadian tuxedo.

Dan Auerbach

Tuxedo T Raid

The Upper Bohemia people wore tuxedos in an art gallery, and Lower Bohemia was all of us.

Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity - the Palm Beach Police Foundation - for his 'selfless support' of its cause. His support did not include any of his own money.

My impression of Las Vegas was in the movies and on TV. So we were all gonna go see somebody perform - I can't recall who it was - and we went out and rented tuxedos because I thought that's what you did in Vegas.

Dusty Hill

Movies You Who

If Mr. Chan ever makes another movie like 'The Tuxedo,' it's American audiences that will see him in court. With 'Shanghai Knights,' he has come through with one of his best. This time, it's personable.

Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?

George Gobel

You World Were

Did you ever feel as if the whole world was a tuxedo, and you were a pair of brown shoes?

George Gobel

You World Whole

Did you ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?

George Gobel

You World Tuxedo

Once, as an experiment, I travelled around the world with a single suit. Before I left, I went to a tailor in Savile Row and asked him to make me a suit that I could wear in any climate and which I could use as a tuxedo, a dinner jacket, a lounge suit and a blazer.

George Hamilton

Travel Men World

We rent one in three tuxedos in the U.S. and Canada, and if we make a mistake, our employees will deliver to the customer's home, office, or wedding. We get a couple hundred letters a week praising the service in our stores.

George Zimmer

Some of us are lucky enough to choose what we wear, and some of us don't have that luxury, but we all are communicating something to the world around us by what we wear, no matter if it's sweatpants or a tuxedo.

Hailey Gates

Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.

Henry Thomas

Would Wear Tuxedo

I live in Tuxedo Park, N.Y. and spend time in the West Village, where my wife Elizabeth Cotnoir, a writer-producer and documentary filmmaker, has an office.

Howard Shore

Bernie doesn't own a tuxedo.

Jane O'Meara Sanders

I have a great body, I really do. But I want to be taken seriously as an artist, and wearing anything that shows it off will be a distraction from the music. That's how my signature uniform, my tuxedo, came about. It's classic and timeless. You'll see me in black, white, and a pop of color on my lips. That pop adds a little magic.

Janelle Monae

I have worn a tuxedo, but I have never covered up for respectability politics or to shame other women.

Janelle Monae

I don't do many social events in the fashion industry. Instead, I go to things like the MTV awards because that's where I fit in - wearing a yellow tuxedo and no shirt on a red carpet.

Jeremy Scott

Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career.

Jerry Hall

I really like the resurgence of the '90s vibe, and you can't go wrong with a Canadian Tuxedo. I never think it's bad to layer denim, whether it's colors or shapes.

Jillian Hervey

Having rain on your tuxedo is a pretty good reminder that you're not James Bond.

Joel Edgerton

Jealousy, greed, fear. We're all full of these things. But also love and compassion. If you saw a drowning baby, it wouldn't matter if you were wearing a tuxedo on the way to your own wedding. You'd jump in to save him.

John McAfee

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo, and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

Lee Van Cleef

For me, it's all about the Canadian tuxedo, and maybe a bolero. The province I grew up in in Alberta is pretty much the denim capital of Canada. The first premier of Alberta started Grand Western Garment, which Levi's bought later on.

Mac DeMarco

Every guy has got to have a tuxedo. If you're ever invited to an event where a tuxedo is necessary, you need to have it ready to go. A good-fitting one, too. It just has to look good.

Matthew Daddario

I kind of have a uniform for office parties and Christmas parties. What I do is put on a basic tuxedo shirt with a solid navy or black tie, a tweed jacket, a red pocket square, and some sort of fancy shoe or velvet slipper.

Michael Bastian

In the modern world there's no such thing as formality. A dinner jacket used to mean a tuxedo, you know?

Noah Emmerich

You can have villains like the Penguin, who strut around in a tuxedo with an umbrella, and Poison Ivy and all of the fantastic stuff she does, but unless there's a bit of a human in there, and unless there's a credible threat, then Batman himself doesn't work.

Paul Dini

Getting away from a white or light colored tuxedo shirt is always a little dangerous. Certain staples shouldn't be mixed with. Light pink or blue is not bad, but again, you're just breaking from a classic.

Paul Feig

Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.

Paul Feig

I wanted to play piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on holiday once and I saw this guy playing in an old tuxedo. He was all disheveled, with a whisky glass on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So what's happened to me with 'Twilight' isn't really what I'd planned.

Robert Pattinson

In the evening every man looks the same. Like penguins. Women have a special dress for that event; men, the same tuxedo.

Roberto Cavalli

I think penguins are the most human of all the birds, which may be why people love them. They're cute, they stand upright and they look like they're wearing tuxedos.

Shia LaBeouf

In my whole life, I've worn black tie three times. I can't tie the knot myself. Once, at the premiere of the opera, I got to La Scala before Domenico, and I was hiding in the corner until he arrived, and I said, 'Quick, you have to tie my tie, please!' Otherwise, I'll wear a tuxedo jacket with jeans and my bling-bling cross.

Stefano Gabbana

I love a woman in a tuxedo, or in a dress, who looks comfortable, relaxed, happy. I'd love to dress Daphne Guinness - she has exactly that attitude.

Stephane Rolland

I put on the tuxedo, and it's like putting on overalls - they're my work clothes. Then I go to work. I'm relaxed. I do my job.

Stephen Hendry

He was wearing a tuxedo, and everyone was saying, 'Rich! Rich! Rich!' and asking him to sign autographs, and he just looked so composed and suave and handsome, and boom! All of the sudden, I thought, 'This could be OK.' And we've been together ever since.

Suzy Shuster

When the idea of 'Chopped' surfaced, it was originally meant to be taped at some guy's mansion with him and his crazy Chihuahua. A stuffy fellow in a tuxedo was to host, and the losing chef's dish was then fed to the dog! I am not kidding, I saw it! I think it is genius! Twisted, but genius!

Ted Allen

I was asked to design the tuxedo for Mr. Peanut. They're rebranding him. That was probably the most interesting request. I didn't spend a long time considering it.

Thom Browne

I think the first time I ever wore a tuxedo was when I played at the Talk Of The Town in 1967, because it was a nightclub and that was the thing to do.

Tom Jones

I think I'd just like to get in a time machine and travel and never come back. The '20s would be an incredible place to be, dressing up in tuxedos with fancy cars. That sounds incredible.

Victor Webster

I had noticed men were much more confident in their clothes. So I sought through trouser suits, trench coats, tuxedos, and pea coats to give women the same confidence.

Yves Saint Laurent

I don't wear flip-flops, so my casual shoe is a Brooks Brothers tuxedo slipper!

Zac Posen

I'm quite a tuxedo junkie, I collect them all year round.
