I totally remove myself from any costumes, wardrobe, any choreography. I could care less about that stuff.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Without my husband's costumes I wouldn't have known how to accomplish what I saw in my own mind's eyes for choreography. And then seeing our choreography and knowing the background of it I am sure helped my husband a great deal with what he designed for us.
It's tempting to think, 'This is silly. I'm an artist. I care about my work, my work is first. I don't care about what kind of dress I wear... That's so secondary to me.' But if you care about your work... then you need to take this part of it just as seriously as you would going into an audition and going into work.
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
I have the opportunity to learn about the fashion world, and I appreciate it as an art form... But I never want it to take over my acting.
I've loved the opportunity to learn about the fashion world and appreciate it as an art form, and I look forward to my continued education, but I never want it to take over my acting.
I design all of the costumes for my movies, actually.
I just like putting outfits together without much thought and seeing what the outcome is.
Onstage, I don't want to be thinking about my outfit, I want to think about what I'm doing, so I'll try to dress as comfortably as possible.
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.
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.
