If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read. More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have. You know, all those incredible geniuses concentrated their lifetimes' experiences in books. It's much better than chattering away to somebody who's never read anything and knows nothing at all.

I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way

Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.

More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.
