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

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.

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 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.

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.
