The whole switch from film to digital has changed some of the ways I use color and the juxtaposition of light and dark. It's getting better with digital, the separation's gotten better, but I still feel like it's really flatter than film, so I do a lot of screening and subtle textural printing and painting on clothes for film to get it not to look flat.

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

I always have a moment when I know I'm designing the last costume that gets made for a movie and it's always been floating up there but it's kind of the last one. That's always probably the hardest one for me.

I love Johnny (Depp). A lot of the stuff I've done for him stands out for me just because of the relationship and who he is.

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

I always carry pictures of my children and grandchildren, which is what makes it all worthwhile. It's great fun that my grandkids get to see the costumes in Alice in Wonderland or a doll with grandma's dress.

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