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.

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.

In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them.

The whole switch from film to digital has changed some of the ways I use color and the juxtaposition of light and dark. It's getting better with digital, the separation's gotten better, but I still feel like it's really flatter than film, so I do a lot of screening and subtle textural printing and painting on clothes for film to get it not to look flat.

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

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