Peter Graves
American Actor
I had several turtles before they were in. People seemed to think they were funny. Now everyone is wearing them practically every place. I think that's real fine, but I don't agree they should go to a formal affair. Turtlenecks with dinner jackets seem ridiculous to me.

Quote examples
Patti Harrison
American Actress
I love coverage. My ideal dress would be a turtleneck that goes all the way up to my chin, and then sleeves that go past my fingers. And then the dress goes all the way to the floor, and you see the very tips of my toes.

Quote examples
Johnny Depp
American Actor
I remember in that red leisure suit I sort of felt like a Pizza Hut employee, and the white one was the ultimate, with the white turtleneck collar, that was the ultimate in bad taste.

Stacy London
American Entertainer
If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

Quote examples
Mitch Hedberg
American Comedian
Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

Quote examples
Roger Stone
American Politician
A black or royal blue velvet blazer will look great with a pair of jeans and a black or navy turtleneck sweater - though it's a more casual look.

Quote examples
Norman Foster
British Architect
I tend to move between turtlenecks and shirts and ties. I don't really have a uniform in the sense that some people might.

I just bring a black turtleneck sweater everywhere - it's the greatest purchase of my life. Period.
