"It really depends on what the screenplay is asking of you, and what your responsibility is to that character. You have the author's intent to deal with, you have the filmmaker's vision, and then you have your own wants, desires and needs for the character. It's collaborative.

Nevertheless its steps can be heard and its clothing makes a hushed sound, like a tree."

"I love New York. It's given me so much as a designer. When I moved here, I wanted to tap into the glamour of the city immediately. More than anywhere else, New York offers itself up - you arrive and get a rush in a flash. It's dazzling.

Everyone is packed into this tiny space. You are confronted with all manner of people, and I love that."
