A producer has to know all about everything from set-building to costumes to acting.
Alan Ladd

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.
Anna Held

Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are.
Colleen Atwood

For the kind of thing that we were showing, the budget was sufficient. As we were speaking of in Haiti, we had not done that before in exactly this form and we had to have costumes for it.
Katherine Dunham

I don't think women should look like costumes. I don't think they should look like fashion victims. I think these (clothes) are for women that want to look sexy. They want to look smart.
Ralph Lauren

I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.
Jeanne Moreau

I remember playing football dressed in peculiar costumes with some friends in France and laughing so hard we couldn't even stand up, let alone kick the ball.
Fred Frith

I think people feel starved of nice, glamorous entertainment. They want to see costumes and gaiety and a singer; old-fashioned entertainment - it won't die easily.
Ronnie Corbett

I'm not the best audience for that because I'm not a great science-fiction fan. I just never got off on space ships and space costumes, things like that.
Gary Oldman

If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.
Doug Coupland

In general, costumes are the first thing in life that let other people know who we are. They indicate who the person is without saying anything.
Molly Parker

It's not that Shakespeare is frivolous, but you spend your time just getting people to dress up in other people's costumes and pretending to be people that they're not, and you think, after the years go by, well, what on earth was all that about?
Jonathan Miller

John Schlesinger had one of his friends designing it and he had never done a film before. Ten days before it started, they didn't have any costumes. I was rung up and joined up.
Julie Harris

My book is very wild. But you know during the period of BATMAN, that there were thousands of Batman and Robin costumes sold and these weren't just for kids.
Burt Ward

My costumes were made for sex appeal not for women.
Brenda Holloway

The costumes had to serve the choreography.
Colleen Atwood

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.
James Randi

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.
Ralph Lauren

To me, the appeal of opera lies in the fact that a myriad of singers and instruments, each possessed of different qualities of voice and sound, against the backdrop of a grand stage and beautiful costumes, come together in one complete and impressive drama.
Junichiro Koizumi

We talk about theatre museums filled with old costumes and things. What we also need is a theatre museum of the old routines on videotape. We are only the custodians of those techniques, and they should be preserved.
Jim Dale
