Sophie McShera Quotes

I think wardrobe is a really important part of making a movie and developing the character.

I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in 'Van Helsing.' That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually.

One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it's very important.

My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.

The 'Game of Thrones' wardrobe department is so detail-oriented.

I didn't want to do Chekhov or Shakespeare. So I switched my major from acting to costume design. Eventually, I got a job working as a wardrobe assistant for a theater company. I would dress the actors, fix their costumes, do the quick changes for them and all that stuff.

I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, 'I don't know if I can take the actors.'

I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.

I was dying to start shooting for 'Paiyya.' I had worn no good clothes for months, and I was dying to wear good clothes. And, for 'Paiyya,' they gave me eight clothes to change in a day!

I wore so much rubber when I was at MGM, I bumped into the wall once, and I ricocheted.

First hand on 'Go Goa Gone' I learnt how to write on final drafts, how the process works.

You have to have a great director to make a great movie.

Shooting a movie should be fun! It's not a real job. It can be hard, but at the end of the day, we're dressing up and playing pretend.

I am an actress, not a producer; I can't decide release dates.

For four years, I worked as one of the general shop crew on movies like 'Naked Lunch' and 'Arachnophobia.' I made lots of bugs.

I feel like I don't have much of a preference. With TV, it's just a longer process, so you need to be more sure that you really want to be involved in it for a longer time than you would be with film.

Making movies is great. It was like love at first sight; a whole new, different business. I can see why actors love it so much.

But I've always loved the whole costuming part of acting.

The first time I ever went on set was during 'Fiza' when I was in Class X.

I made experimental commercials in the experimental division of a production house, Film X, that made commercials for ad agencies.

There's so many people involved in making a film.

I have worked in films where we just put on the make-up and go in for a shoot without any discussions and even a talk with the director.

We used to take two years to complete a film, and sometimes, we used to be told on the sets that the scenes are still being written. Everything today is pre-planned.

There is so much that I love about all aspects of making a film or a TV show.

Actors don't request what scenes to be written in. That's just not how it works.
