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.

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

I don't design my own clothes. It's so not what I think about.

I like the architecture of lingerie.

Every project starts with a story.

If you want someone to feel warm, you dress them in a warm color and put a warm light on them and you get the picture. Sometimes, all that needs pushing a little bit to help tell the story.

The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.
