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.

Every project starts with a story.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me.

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

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 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.

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.
