Quotes

  • [on designing films set in present day] People expect you to go to the store and buy it so you're really not designing anything. You turn into a shopper. And they make deals with companies you don't want. Everyone will wear ____.
  • [on the likelihood of her winning an Academy Award for costume design] I'm up against too many sequins.
  • [on David Lynch] My mind is odd, too, so we fit nicely. I don't find him strange so there you go.
  • [on working with David Lynch] We don't have to talk a lot. We sorta have the same definition of ugly.
  • [on being picky about the projects that she designs] It's one of those things. Save your money and you don't have to do anything. I do just what I want to do. If it doesn't come along I just do housework.
