Polished transcript:

Male Female

Oh, I do spend a lot of time choosing clothes, yes, because I think clothes really help boost or decline my confidence. For example, when I'm wearing clothes that I don't feel comfortable in or beautiful enough in, I'm not really that confident in myself. I think it's really important how you choose to present yourself to society, to people, not only friends but also colleagues and people you may not know. So I do spend a lot of time choosing clothes for this reason.
