I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it's kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it's hugely important.

For me, clothes are kind of character; I don't follow fashion or understand trends.

The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that's the final step to figuring out that character.

Your wardrobe should complement your skill set, never detract - or distract - from your assets.

I do think I know more about clothes than any 500 designers, because there's nothing like wearing them. You buy them, you study them, and you start to understand how they're crafted.

I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that.

Fashion designers only occasionally tread outside the realm of clothes as pure commodity. When they do, the results are often a muddled, self-conscious message.

Also the clothing, people often ask why I talk about what characters are wearing. And that's really important to me, because you have to have a picture of how people moved in their clothes.

I realize how talented our hair and wardrobe people are every time I have to get dressed on my own.
