English term or phrase: You Can't Make Me Change Anything But My Underwear!

This is a translation of an Excel document about a Human Resources Conference and there's no more context. We know that a "Literal translation" wouldn't work here. :) What would be the equivalent in Portuguese?

Thanks a lot!
