For me, wearing a tie is a pleasure, a recherche one but a pleasure nonetheless. You could say that I'm avoiding tie avoidance. My own gorgeous collection runs into hundreds and I buy them the way I buy books - I simply can't pass a shop. I have loved them since I could spend my own money on them.

To those of you who are wearing ties, I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.

Whatever I wear has to be comfortable.

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.

It's more frugal to wear ties that are given to you.

In my whole life, I've worn black tie three times. I can't tie the knot myself.

I don't particularly get nervous about anything.
