I have been a bridesmaid. Fortunately, the outfits were pretty tame. They were cream and black, but I still wouldn't wear them out in public, though.
It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.
No- I cannot talk of books in a ballroom; my head is always full of something else.
The red carpet is a beautiful situation for people. I think everybody appreciates it and loves it and honors it. Nobody really acts a fool because they know this is a one-time thing.
Ceremony and ritual are like a warm, fuzzy coat to the Brits. It feels good to put it on.
You'll never get me into a tux. Not until I'm dead and I have no choice because that's what the undertaker put me in.
Badger hates Society, and invitations, and dinner, and all that sort of thing.
In my everyday life, I just wear jeans, t-shirts and trainers - if I can go barefoot, that's even better. But for the events I have a stylist, and in two hours we have selected a whole outfit.
Quite frankly, I am not very comfortable in chitchat. When I go to board meetings, I arrive two minutes before and leave when it's over. I don't stay for lunch or go early and have coffee.

I mean no snub but presidents don't usually march.
You know how Oprah has her moment about bread? Mine's about boots. You could wear it to a meeting at work. You could wear it to a date.You could wear it to a wedding with a suit.
I don't like dressing up, and I don't like putting on make-up or doing the red carpet. The only red carpet events I go to are if I'm supporting a friend.
As tempting as it seems to wear tennis shoes with your tux, don't do it. I think it looks ridiculous. If you're 14 years old, maybe give it a shot. In general, don't portray anything that says 'I'm too cool and I don't care.'
I don't like top hats, white ties, and tails.
You can make anything into a special occasion and dress up for it
In my whole life, I've worn black tie three times. I can't tie the knot myself.

A group of men in evening clothes looks like a flock of crows, and is just about as inspiring.
The only thing I knew would make my grandmother more proud than watching my TV courtroom was to see me dressed up in white tie doing the foxtrot.
I'd never bought a bottle of cologne in my life, never dabbled in Drakkar Noir before the big high school date or Polo before the prom.
Barely a week goes by without me being asked to cut a ribbon somewhere, and I'm usually happy to oblige. Things to do with the Army mostly.
