I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject.
It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.
