I've always loved movies, art and clothes.

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.

Each simian had a much different body suit, so besides trying to define class across species, there was a definite attempt to dress each group in different styles.

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.

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

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.

I had to work out that it was something that could move, without having everybody in spray painted leotards.
