I am very much a person who appreciates perennial things. Things like a Lacoste shirt, a Clarks desert boot, Persol sunglasses and Vans shoes that have been the same forever. There are certain things that once you find it, you like it and it's done. I like Italian clothing, like suits from Battistoni and I have a shirt by Piero Albertelli.

I wear sunglasses because of the glare of the spotlights. I wear gloves because it is very cold in the U.K.

I think sometimes when you want attention, you can wear sunglasses, and people are like, 'Who is that?'

People do recognize me. I walk around with sunglasses, and I think I'm hidden, but they see me.

The thing that really struck me was how many firms that we think of as strictly civilian had ties to the Pentagon. Companies like Apple, Starbucks, Oakley the sunglasses manufacturer. Even Google, and a lot of big corporations like PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, and Nestle, that you don't normally think of as defense contractors.

When you go to awards shows these days, you can walk through a room and they give you everything for free: sunglasses, guitars, stuff for the wife.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to simply walk down the street. In New York, I dashed in to buy a big pair of sunglasses to conceal myself, but the guy behind the counter shouted 'Hey! It's Dr. House.'

When I was a teenager, my dad used to call me 'Hollywood' because I wore sunglasses all the time, even at night. Cue song.

Wearing sunglasses at night hurts your eyes after a while.

My sunglasses are like my guitar.

At film festivals, I put on my sunglasses and go to sleep because I don't want to see my films again.

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.

Sunglasses are not only for functional use but also necessary for complementing your whole look.

Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.

What I'm saying is that, unlike a lot of portrayals of me, I'm not hiding behind the sunglasses. I'm out there working. I'm not trying to sell anybody anything, but I do realize we're entertainers.

Being stuck in airports, you always end up buying perfume and sunglasses.

After 'The Matrix,' I cannot wear sunglasses. As soon as I put them on, people recognize me.

I like men with honest, frank eyes. And that's the reason I cannot talk anyone who has their sunglasses on.

Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality - that's the main event.

I like sunglasses, the bigger the better, but I lose about a pair a week.
