I like the architecture of lingerie.

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.

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 think what's fun about the fairytales is just seeing what everybody interprets them as, which comes from the different directors and what they want to do with them.

Be more wary of the fearful than of the brave.

Drop down someone else's shoe and run to take your own quickly. Don't hire your own to anybody, else it profits you nothing! Brighten the corner where you are. Yes, you can!

I've had the privilege of learning foreign languages. Instead of merely speaking a watered-down form of my mother tongue, like most people, I'm also helpless in two or three other languages.

For it isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

For most people the prohibitions are a good thing. But If you are able to maintain very powerful states of mind, then you'll find yourself in everything you see.

What we're doing to the planet is inexcusable.

I'm one of those people that really pays attention to the music in films.

When things start to get rough, you find comfort in your faith. Knowing that no matter what, you can dust yourself off and be okay.

The idea part is simple but the visual perception is complex.

Discipline is the virtue that begins in obedience and flowers in self-control.
