I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.

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

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.

I never go black tie. I never grew up wearing ties or bow ties or anything.

I hate wearing suits and ties.

I wear my dad's cross. It's very important to me. I hang it in my locker before each game.

Nobody cares about your wardrobe, what your tie looks like, or even if you're wearing one, and I don't.

I've returned to being an amateur without any ties or strings attached, which gives me a freedom I never had before.
