I'd seen the current stage production and the 1975 production of Chicago. I liked them both very much, but I didn't use them necessarily as inspiration.

I think what's fun about the fairytales is just seeing what everybody interprets them as, which comes from the different directors and what they want to do with them.

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.

Sleepy Hollow had a lot of action in it, even though it was a fairy-tale movie.

Every story is different, so what is a detail in one might not be in something else. Diversity is something I embrace and love about my work.

Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are.

If I'm doing something contemporary, for sure I'm very aware of what's going on. Personally, I like fashion trends, but when I'm doing a movie, it doesn't affect what I do particularly at all. I don't relate to it in that way.
