“Costume design allows you to do a different type of research and create characters, whereas in fashion, you create an image and clothing for the masses.”

“The thing that's great about being a costume designer is you never know what's going to be next; you never what world you are going to enter.”

“I always loved clothes, just not clothes that were appropriate to the place I grew up in.”

“The States are more accommodating to fat people - there are more plus-sized clothing labels, and people talk openly about it.”

“Clothing enables people to self-express, and that's why variety, when it comes to our wardrobe, has become more and more important over time.”

“It was just really exciting to see dark people in white people's clothing, or what is perceived as white people garb.”
