A Quote by Neil Gaiman

And weren't, when you got right down to it, particularly evil. Human beings mostly aren't. They just get carried away by new ideas, like dressing up in jackboots and shooting people, or dressing up in white sheets and lynching people, or dressing up in tie-dye jeans and and playing guitar at people. Offer people a new creed with a costume and their hearts and minds will follow.

I certainly got the jokes within the joke, dressing up in a wet suit, sitting in a Twingo, scaling a rubber mountain, dressing up and stealing a diamond, of course. If not now, when?

Pierce Brosnan

I'm always in flats. Jeans, jumper, flat shoes or a pair of trainers. It would probably surprise people, but I have to be comfortable. It's not about me dressing up and looking good. I've got to get stuff done.

Victoria Beckham

For millennia, human beings have been finding new ways to look at the world through each others' eyes: from projecting ourselves onto the characters in novels or movies to dressing up in costume to devouring the details of some celebrity's life in 'Hello' or 'OK.'

Naomi Alderman

I don't remember ever dressing up for Halloween but I must have. I do not like dressing up at all.

Rachel Zucker

I can make dressing - or stuffing. Y'all call it stuffing up here, we call it dressing down there. It's really good dressing. That family recipe was passed on, and I love to make that.

Edie Brickell

There's nothing sexy about doing a nude scene. It's rather uncomfortable. I like dressing up rather than dressing down.

Helen Mirren

I think that a costume can really help in embodying a character. So dressing up in something completely different to what you would usually wear is so new and refreshing.

Phoebe Dynevor

It is amazing the quality of human beings that are in this world if we can just get past people not dressing the way we want them to dress.

Joyce Meyer

A lot of my designs are inspired by the 1930s, when people were fabulous at dressing up. Then it just all kind of fell away.

Jenny Packham

'Arnold Layne' just happens to dig dressing up in women's clothing. A lot of people do - so let's face up to reality.

Syd Barrett

Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that.

John Galliano

If you want a measure of how private a place the dressing room was when I was growing up at Manchester United, consider this: even Sir Alex Ferguson would knock before coming into the dressing room at the Cliff, the old training ground. The dressing room is for the players - and the players only.

Paul Scholes

I don't really like dressing up. Some people probably think actresses dress up everywhere they go. I'm in sweatpants half the time with my hair in a ponytail.

Selena Gomez

On the sets, I used to scare people. I team up with my level of people and sometimes do spooky things. I've inherited this from my mother, as she used to scare my neighbours by dressing up like a ghost.

Manisha Koirala

Worldwide, most people dress more casually these days, don't they? They have done for the last 20 or 30 years, I suppose. So, every place that I go to, the majority of people really wear jeans, trainers, T-shirt - everybody seems to dress more for comfort. Whereas, even in my lifetime, even up to the early-'70s, there was still that thing of dressing up.
