“My advice is you've got to make sure you wear the clothes and not [let] the clothes wear you. It's quite simple in a way. Don't wear something you totally feel uncomfortable with, but take some chances. Play around a bit.

Now wearing a suit is like wearing a track suit for me.

I think I do too, but I'm more of a first position strummer guy with a little bit of filigree work.
