If I dressed like that every day though, I do think people would take me less seriously, but I'd like to use clothes more as a statement of myself. Tom Wolfe said clothes are a window into a man's soul, but I think they're usually a way of keeping people at bay.

I like clothes more than I did when I was younger. They're interesting and important. I used to think that was preposterous, shallow, but I was wrong. You can use clothes to indicate what you're about. When you reach a stage where you have to look smart you become more aware of how you look.
