For me, hipsterism is for one to appropriate the codes of a social class or another milieu that wasn't theirs originally, in order to define their personality through something different and unique. Which is why a lot of hipsters live downtown, and they're dressed as farmers. Then you have the Oscar Wilde hipster: the dandy.

But I'd say 'How to Make It in America' is the most accurate depiction of the New York hipster community on television for sure.

Between New York and LA, there's 200 million people that aren't hip, and they don't want to be hip.

I'm in favour of hipster androgyny: Any trend that permits men to rebel against strict gender rules of appearance is going to make the world a more expressive and sensitive place for all of us.

I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.

Hollywood's not a progressive place. Everyone likes to think that Hollywood is hip, but it's not hip at all.

I'm just a really big fan of street style. When I went to New York for Fashion Week, it was great to watch everyone on the runway and see all the beautiful clothes and to get ideas, but again, I think it's just about being open and looking around.

New York feels like the whole city is into dance music. That's not how it felt when I was younger. There was more of a hipster scene.
