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.

I've always loved movies, art and clothes.

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

If I'm doing something contemporary, for sure I'm very aware of what's going on. Personally, I like fashion trends, but when I'm doing a movie, it doesn't affect what I do particularly at all. I don't relate to it in that way.

Every project starts with a story.
