Shopping is a bit of a relaxing hobby for me, which is sometimes troubling for the bank balance.
I hate shopping.
Bad impulse buys make you feel grim, don't they? It's like having consumer Tourette's. I gravitate towards austere foreign-language film DVDs when insecure.
My obsession with accumulation, which at times has taken on the whisper of a psychic illness - as anyone who has experienced the ode to the Collyer brothers that is my 'Vogue' office will concur - began in infancy.
I buy everything in sight. It took my last ounce of control not to buy one of these in every color.
Shopping turns me off.
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.
For in some ways the world was like a shopping centre, and he himself was a doubtful customer, often ineffectual, being talked into buying things he didn't want, things indeed which nobody in their right mind would want to buy.
When I get into collecting things, I get a little obsessive. Which is why when I start buying comics, I buy way too many, and I have to stop myself.
All my wife does is shop - once she was sick for a week, and three stores went under.
There's something wonderful about taking a tag off a pair of socks, off a shirt, off a jacket. I really think that it has to do with my wanting to give myself all the perks that there are. It's part of my psychosis.
If I like it, I'll buy it; pure impulse shopping.
I'm an impulse buyer. I don't really go out with a list.
I have to have everything. I have to have iPads. I've had I think every generation of iPod. I've had all the consoles at least once; I've had some of them twice. I get them and get fed up with them and get rid of them.
When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping.
Inordinate desire for material possessions can become an obsession that consumes our thoughts, drains our resources, and leads to unhappiness.
If I go to the department store, I get no excitement: I can buy the entire department store instead of one bag. So I lost excitement of shopping.
Shopping seemed to take an entirely too important place in women's lives. You never saw men milling around in men's departments. They made quick work of it. I used to wonder if shopping was a form of escape for women who had no worthwhile interests.
I can't go more than 72 hours without shopping, but I don't think I'm excessive.
My mother likes to say that I was conceived to shop - not just born to shop. My whole life as a child was following her and her sister and friends around on her shopping trips.
Like my mum, I sometimes buy things I shouldn't and fill my house with rubbish.
Seeing so much of the same thing suppresses the desire to buy.
Shopping stresses me out.
I don't shop because I need something, I just shop for shopping's sake.
I'm no longer a shoeaholic, but I used to be. I used to spend all my time on tour either buying records or shoes.
