Costume Quotes

Glamor is just sex that got civilized. A pretty girl, tastefully posed in a scant costume, is even a sort of cultural achievement Picture Quote #1

I hope it won’t offend you if I ask to borrow some of your hipster clothes for my hobo costume Picture Quote #1

We were a family that made our Halloween costumes. Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brothers winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips Picture Quote #1

Then, finally, the third year, begging the parents, I got the Superman Halloween costume. Cardboard box, self-made top, mask included. Remember the rubber band on the back of that mask? That was a quality item there, wasn’t it? That was good for about 10 seconds before it snapped out of that cheap little staple they put it in there with Picture Quote #1

Probably the only type of cosmetic surgery I’d consider is having my bust reduced. It’s alright for my current role in ‘The Marquise’ because it’s a costume drama, which means boned corsets and a bit of cleavage, but it’s a drag otherwise Picture Quote #1

The difficulty with poetry is that it doesn’t have the life that Shakespeare or Jane Austen have beyond the page. You can’t make a costume drama out of it. There’s no place for it to go except trapped inside its little book Picture Quote #1

Somewhere along the line, a concert became a variety show. It was no longer enough for four dudes to play together in front of some guitar amps. Costume changes, an army of dancers, and Broadway theatrics suddenly became standard for a ‘concert.’ Picture Quote #1

There are so many parts of music that it’s actually a pleasure for me to work with an orchestra, or a jazz band, or a choir, and use every element that the musical tool box can offer. The world of music I love so much, and I can change the costume depending on the part, and I’m actually in the film Picture Quote #1

I’ve never worn costume jewelry in my life. It’s really very self-defeating. Why should a man buy a woman real jewelry when she wears false pieces? Picture Quote #1

The costume affects your posture, affects your walk, how you hold yourself, and how you breathe. The costumes make you deliver Picture Quote #1

I have worked with some of the most amazing costume designers in the world Picture Quote #1

I always go into a blocking rehearsal with an anchor, with a blocking plan. And sometimes they’ll step into the room and they’ll be in costume and you’re like, That sucks, that’s not going to work. Let’s think of something new Picture Quote #1

As a costume designer, it’s important to give each person his or her own personalized look Picture Quote #1

I love fashion as an art; I love fashion as costume, as a character. I don’t like dictates and the phoniness of appearance Picture Quote #1

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me Picture Quote #1

I cannot draw to save my life, and I’m not a big art scholar, but I worked with many designers throughout my career - in theater, in dance, costume designers, set designers, and I have a lot of artist friends and I do photography, and I think it’s kind of in my life Picture Quote #1

People look at me, they know I’ve appeared in costume dramas and they automatically assume I must be a Tory, I must be a certain type of person Picture Quote #1

Put me in a costume, and I’m your man. I must have one of those faces which seems to suit period drama more than modern films and TV programmes. But I’m not complaining, I love going back in time. I feel quite lucky because nobody knows who I am. I can walk about and have ordinary conversations with people Picture Quote #1

I love putting on an outfit or a costume and just looking at myself in the mirror. Baggy pants or some real funky shoes and a hat and just feeling the character of it. That’s fun to me Picture Quote #1

There is a scene in one comic from the 60s- 70s where Batman finds a film, a newsreel film, of his father. This newsreel film is from the 50s, and his father has come to this costume ball in a Zorro costume, which strangely enough looks a lot like a Batman suit in the footage Picture Quote #1

I’m living in New York, getting paid to do what I love. I get to boss people around, wear a fancy costume, dance with beautiful mermaids, and meet my fans every night at the stage door. I’m loving it Picture Quote #1

I had always been proud of my mom. So she’d never back cookies, or sew a Halloween costume, but she could fight monsters. She was tough and smart, and maybe she didn’t read bedtime stories, but she had taught me to defend myself against the things that lurked under beds Picture Quote #1

For all of my class projects, I somehow turned it into a commercial parody or put on plays. My whole thing was seeing things from a big picture, from beginning to middle to end: making a costume, doing voices, writing a script, making it all happen Picture Quote #1

The thing that’s great about being a costume designer is you never know what’s going to be next; you never what world you are going to enter Picture Quote #1

Costume people are always saying they don’t have clothes big enough for me Picture Quote #1

In a costume, you need very exaggerated body language - as you say, sort of mime-type skills Picture Quote #1

Someone asked me about how it feels to wear the same costume every day and whether it gets tired or boring, but the good thing about it is that you know what to expect, every day Picture Quote #1

I was a gorilla boxer. I had a full gorilla suit on with boxing gloves. I had an amateur belt on. No one knew that it was me in the costume and I was going into stores and scaring people and boxing on them. It was fun Picture Quote #1

All my siblings became artists. One’s a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer Picture Quote #1
