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.

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.

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 like the architecture of lingerie.

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.

Each simian had a much different body suit, so besides trying to define class across species, there was a definite attempt to dress each group in different styles.

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