There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.
There's no great mystery to acting. It's a very simple thing to do but you have to work hard at it. It's about asking questions and using your imagination.
I think a director can make a play happen before your eyes so that you are part of it and it is part of you. If you can get it right, there's no mystery. It's not about mystery. It's not even mysterious. It's about our lives.
Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are.
It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.
One of the hopes we have when we hear or read an interview with a mystery writer is to get inside the writer's head, to learn something we didn't know before.
It's easier to play quirky characters and hide behind wardrobe and make-up, especially.
You can't just sit there and do the lines. You have to do something revealing or unusual.
Fashion can be this mysterious thing that you can't explain.
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
