I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Believe it or not, I used to be obsessed with shoes. I have maybe 50 pairs... until I moved to New York, when I realized I couldn't walk anywhere in any of them.
The problem is you can't wear your old shoes too often because people say, 'You're still wearing that shoe?'
I've always been into shoes and bags.
I need to live in new shoes and not be a dancer.
I have a lot of shoes.
I have a shoe habit. If I'm in New York, it's a problem because I'm walking and I have access to more stores. In L.A., it's not as bad.
I bought my Grasshoppers tennis shoes at a flea market in Brooklyn. They are so comfortable to lounge around in on tour.
I grew up at a time in Singapore - the '70s and '80s - where it was still possible to go riding around the island barefoot. And I was one of these kids that was just climbing trees and running around the neighbourhood.
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
I don't go anywhere without clean shoes. That's one thing I've got from the navy.
