Growing up, I thought wearing a suit was a burden.

I had a suit made for me when I was five. It was double-breasted, mohair and purple. My mother was very particular about clothing - it always used to have to go back into the plastic and it used to drive me insane.

I do wear suits all the time.

I never wear suits.

I don't ever have the opportunity to wear a suit.

A suit is just a suit: a practical garment, not a ceremonial robe; it can be worn out to dinner with friends or for a visit to an art gallery. Its beauty and craftsmanship are utterly wasted if you think of it as something magical and symbolic.

I remember the very first suit I bought. It was a three-piece denim suit with bell-bottoms.

For me, I wear a suit because I need to remember what's happened before me.
