Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I design all of the costumes for my movies, actually.
I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'
I love designing costumes that I can actually construct, working to create an environment that people want to be in.
I went to art and design high school with a lot of people taking fashion. They would get up in the morning, and what they put on meant a lot to them.
I went to theater school but never really got the chance to do theater, and it's always been a dream of mine.
I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.
I did a lot of theater when I was in high school and college. I also did stand-up in college, so it was always part of what I did.
I studied fine arts and architecture, but I decided to move into movie design because I grew up in a small town in the Marche region and spent a lot of time after school in the movie theater.
