For better or ill, I was very heavily influenced by men I knew who always dressed formally.

I've never felt that I've had some great fashion sense of my own - I tend to wear what my wife tells me to wear.

I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.

When I was 17, I used to really think about what I wore every day.

I always want to wear clothes that my children will one day look back on and say, 'Oh, you looked amazing - why didn't you keep that?' Not, 'Oh my God - I can't believe you wore that.'

Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.

When people show me clothing that seems very, very feminine, it's hard for me to embrace that, because it just doesn't feel like me.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

I never had to look for confidence because I just wore what I wanted to wear. I would never wear anything to offend my husband or my mother, but outside of that, I always figured, I hope I'm not a rebel, and I hope everybody liked it. And if they didn't like it, it really was not going to disturb me because it was their problem, not mine.

I never felt like a boy or a girl, never felt I should wear this or dress like that. I think that's where that confidence comes from because I never felt I had to play a part in my life. I just always come as Shamir.
