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.

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

I had to work out that it was something that could move, without having everybody in spray painted leotards.

In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.

I like the architecture of lingerie.

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

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

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.

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.

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.

As a designer, you have to solve a lot of problems. Even though people are wearing clothes that are supposed to look beautiful, they'll have to do all kinds of things.

I have never met a politician who has exceeded my low expectations of them.

The biggest mistake brands make are trying to “sell their stuff” rather than clarifying what people are actually buying.

A little reckless bravery may end up saving your life.

The white boys knew they had my attention now, but hesitated -- that's the trouble with being a racist in the white heartlands, you don't get a lot of practical experience.

Maybe that's why I'd been chosen to become the first female Reaper in history. I think the boys had been losing too many souls.

Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity; but I call it “just being you”.

If you don't have a definite call to stay here, you are called to go.

Be judicious with your budget and buy things that are going to last.

The construct of William Gibson the Writer is coming down, and become more open. It's more of a Glasnost - Transparency! Transparency is what it is.
