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.

In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.

In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them.

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

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.

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.
