- Stanley Tucci on his first-ever first class flight and on how people dress for travel,
The way that people dress. I mean, everybody’s dressed like a nine year old. And you think, but you’re not nine years old! You’re a person. Put a shirt on, wear a pair of shoes. Why do you have to wear sweats? Even my children, my older children – I’m like, “You can’t dress like that on a plane.” But that’s a very old fashioned way of thinking. You always got dressed up to travel. I still do. I’ll sometimes just wear a suit on a plane. I’ve become a little less severe as I’ve gotten older, but I will always have a jacket.
