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

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

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.

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.

Planet of the Apes was a gigantic challenge, making the clothes work so people could do stunts and action in the clothes. I really learned a lot about that in that movie.

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.

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.
