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.

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.

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.

The most beautiful women I have known had one thing in common apart from beauty: humility. It's a shame that those with less to boast about do it the most.

Because a woman's beauty does not belong to her alone. It is a part of the bounty she brings into the world. She has a duty to share it.

I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.

I could spend my life arriving each evening in a new city.

If nothing in this world satisfies me, perhaps it is because I was made for another world.

Took flowers from a hearse, romanced a nurse. Put the girl asleep, then I went through her purse.

The poorest of the poor are those who feel that they are unloved.

As the government is, such will be the man.

Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.

What is the world coming to, when you can't even trust a rogue vicar and her demon lover?
