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.

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

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.

The costume affects your posture, affects your walk, how you hold yourself, and how you breathe. The costumes make you deliver.

If I'm going to rehearse, I don't necessarily rehearse in costume.

When you do a movie, you go to the location and get into your costume. It's part of your metamorphosis into your character, and it just made sense to do it.

Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.

I don't think that I could fit into the costume anymore.

Costume people are always saying they don't have clothes big enough for me.

I like to think that at the end of a show, you can just take your costume off and go to the pub.
