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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
