If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?
Chuck Palahniuk
For a long time, I was worried about being typecast. But costume drama is a large part of the work in this country. It`s just a bit sniffy to turn up your nose at it.
Romola Garai
Acting is a lot of fun, it`s like Halloween every day. You get a costume, a new face, a new identity but at the same time, you`ve got to be yourself. If you`re putting on a fake personality, there`s no way you`re going to be able to keep up both that pers...
Alex D. Linz
[On looking at herself in the home made Supergirl costume she wore to her audition]: "I looked at myself in the mirror and I thought `I look like such a jackass`."
Helen Slater
[his response (in 1979) to an indication that he shared the spotlight with Star Wars (1977) villain Darth Vader, played by David Prowse, another muscle-bound actor] Anybody could play Darth Vader. Vader is basically just a big guy behind a costume. The ch...
Lou Ferrigno
The first time my mom and I went to the studio for a costume fitting, I saw a Ferengi. I saw a Klingon. I saw all these other aliens, and I would stop and say to the actors, `Can I look at your makeup for a second? This is so cool!.
Scarlett Pomers
I didn`t like my Bond Girl outfits. The designer was a friend of the directors and I thought they were too boring and middle-aged for my character. The right costumes are essential for getting into a part; I`ve witnessed many costume parades with grumpy o...
Diana Rigg
It`s ironic. People know me because I play the monsters, but I`m most recognized from the small roles in which they see my face. None of that stuff really bothers me. Whether I`m recognized in or out of a costume isn`t a kind of pressure I put myself thro...
Kevin Hall
At a certain point I`m going to want to have a family and I`m not going to have time to be running around the world doing this shit and being greedy. I can always write songs. But can I always wear an Alice-in-Wonderland costume? I probably shouldn`t. I c...
Gwen Stefani
[on worrying about the high expectations of Lord of the Rings fans when he was cast as Frodo:] "I definitely felt the pressure. I wanted to live up to all of the expectations. But when I got into costume and worked with the others, I just didn`t think abo...
Elijah Wood
[About Superman`s costume for `Superman Returns`]: "I always had the general idea of the suit. With X-Men, although they had extraordinary powers, they also had physical weaknesses. The suits were for protection as well as costume. Superman is the Man of ...

Bryan Singer
[In The Women (1939)] Norma Shearer made me change my costume sixteen times because every one was prettier than hers. I love to play bitches and she _helped_ me in this part.
Joan Crawford
[Talking about wearing the Superman costume]: "Very confining. But once you get past that - which is sometimes hard - it`s also very empowering. First time I put it on, I felt... stronger. Like a different level of who I am. It makes playing the character...
Brandon Routh
[on his role as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in "Star Wars"] To wear the costume to play the character I`m playing is wonderfully empowering. The colors, the textures...people keep coming up to me and saying, `Is it rubber? Is it leather?` I don`t quite k...
Ian McDiarmid
Explaining why gaffer`s tape was sometimes used under her Princess Leia costume in Star Wars (1977): "As we all know, there is no underwear in space."
Carrie Fisher
On her Seven of Nine costume: "Initially, I would stay in the costume much longer than I ended up staying in it, because it takes about twenty minutes to get into. Someone has to dress me and undress me. It`s a production break if I have to get out of the...

Jeri Ryan
Director is little bit of everything, little bit of the writer, little bit of an actor, little bit of an editor, little bit of a costume designer. Good director is the director who chooses for this profession people who are better than he is. Yes, I can w...
Milos Forman
My character has the same background as `In the Mood for Love,` the same hairstyle, the same costume, it`s filmed on the same set and because it`s Kar Wai I don`t have a script. I need something to get hold of, and I said, `Can I have a mustache at least?...
Tony Wai
The clothes in "Sex and the City" (1998) were a blast! My favourite part was working with Patricia Field, the costume designer. It was just insane. My wardrobe was more outrageous than raunchy. Yes, the colours were bright and the necklines were super-low...
Kim Cattrall
One of my film heroes is Peter Weir, who made Fearless (1993) but also made Green Card (1990). Ang Lee makes a western, he makes a Seventies psycho movie, a costume drama and a monster movie. I wanted to be like that. I finished this in October and I have...
Paul Bettany
I`ve never changed my clothes so fast in my life. - accepting her 1999 Tony Award, when she had to quickly change out of costume as her award was presented immediately following a musical number she performed in.
Kristin Chenoweth
About his costume in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl": "I came in that day and I saw Johnny in his costume and I was so jealous. He looked so cool, with his bandanna and his hat, and here I am, looking like an ice cream."
Jack Davenport
About his costume in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl": "I came in that day and I saw Johnny in his costume and I was so jealous. He looked so cool, with his bandanna and his hat, and here I am, looking like an ice cream."
Jack Davenport
[On the fact that she adored every costume of Carrie Bradshaw`s on "Sex and the City" (1998).] The hits and misses. It was great fun to make mistakes and also be victorious. If I have a daughter, perhaps I`ll give the clothes to her and tell her the extra...
Sarah Parker
(On his costume in The Mummy) "I`m no Mr. Fitness, but I had done some exercise. When I finally got to London, they showed me my costume, and it was like the size of a postage stamp."
