I have worked with some of the most amazing costume designers in the world.

It even sounds stupid to hear myself say the first costume designer I worked with was Catherine Martin, and she won an Oscar for it, but that was just my very lucky draw of roll of the dice.

I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.

My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.

I love designing costumes that I can actually construct, working to create an environment that people want to be in.

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.

I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

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.
