There's this British elegance that we, at times, have really missed in the States. We've always been more of a sportswear culture.

I think part of what we do is there is a bit of dandy influence, always, or a little sprinkle of it. Not literal Savile Row dandy, but there's a bit of sartorial dandiness in everything that we do - every collection that we do.

In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

I've always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.

"Ageism" or whatever you want to call it, is a very English phenomenon. You don't get it too much in many other cultures. And no one says it about authors or poets or filmmakers. "Oh, they're too old to make films or write books." You know what I mean?

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
