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

I always carry pictures of my children and grandchildren, which is what makes it all worthwhile. It's great fun that my grandkids get to see the costumes in Alice in Wonderland or a doll with grandma's dress.

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.

Be able to take any job that gives you experience on a film. Don't just think that you have to be in one department or the other, because through working on one and seeing what other people do in the movie makes you realize what your role is if you become a costume designer.

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

I love Johnny (Depp). A lot of the stuff I've done for him stands out for me just because of the relationship and who he is.

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.
