It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn't know I was doing it.

In the beginning, when you're acting in amateur theater and off-Broadway, it was unheard of that anyone else would get your costume. And it was important to get a good costume. You put time into that.

Normally, you have to wait for the costume department to help you out of costume.

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.

Actually I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming.

Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you're wearing, and you turn into someone else.

I'm able to hang up the character with the costume at the end of the movie.

So I'll go eat places and then I'll run it off in the show.

The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don't have a problem with it because of the way this character's been written.

Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
