Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.

Just imagine dressing the two handsomest men in the world, and then getting this!

We don't make glamorous movies today. Everything now is very realistic, artistic - and depressing. When is the last time you you saw a wonderful musical or a fabulous fantasy?

What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he's become a different person.

The subjective actress thinks of clothes only as they apply to her; the objective actress thinks of them only as they affect others, as a tool for the job.

I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals-like Lassie.

A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.
