There's no excuse for fur in this day and age.
[Fur] is really ridiculous. It's outrageous. We're not living in igloos. We don't need to trade pelts anymore. There is this diabolical idea that fur is fashionable. It's not. It's death. There's no excuse for it.
I've had my run-ins with department stores, like Harrods, which stopped selling fur coats, but I found some there with fur trim, which is just as disgusting. Foie gras production is appalling - there's no excuse for selling it.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
But if an actress asks me my opinion, I would tell her there are a million different designers who make faux fur. If you like that look, wear faux fur. If you're doing it on the red carpet, you're doing it for how it looks. Faux fur and real fur look the same on camera.
The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I'd understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers,and it's not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.
Once upon a time, the Reindeer took a running leap and jumped over the Northern Lights. But he jumped too low, and the long fur of his beautiful flowing tail got singed by the rainbow fires of the aurora. To this day the reindeer has no tail to speak of. But he is too busy pulling the Important Sleigh to notice what is lost. And he certainly doesn’t complain. What's your excuse?
In today's day and age, where so many kids are taught to specialize so early, I want to show them you don't have to - at a young age, high school age, college age and hopefully a professional age.
Since I was a little kid, I was against fur. I never wore fur in my life.
I got a fur shawl once. I was so disgusted! And I couldn't re-gift it. I don't know anyone who'd want fur.
In Delhi or elsewhere, I love wearing overcoats, boots and fur coats. Fur is my favourite.
Don't wear fur! Did you know, a single fur coat takes fifteen trees, just for the protest signs?
I've never worn fur, either. I'm a naturally squeamish person, and fur smells like dead animal to me.
I got with PETA for a fur campaign, specifically for fur.
I have a few vintage furs and have a particular weakness for Mongolian lamb fur - it's quite '70s - and I like the volume fur gives.
Any younger person - let's say if you're over the age of 30, Pride is a great excuse to go day-drinking. But no one forgets their first Pride and how much they felt that they were included and that the future was bright.
Frankly, I think that fur on a man is difficult to pull off. If it's the warmth you're after, then I'd go with a fur-lined coat - it won't show.
