I've always loved movies, art and clothes.

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'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.

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.

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

Chicago is partly a fairy tale because it's inside one person's head, so that part of it's made up and the rest of it is reality.
