Courtrooms contain every symbol of authority that a set designer could imagine. Everyone stands up when you come in. You wear a costume identifying you as, if not quite divine, someone special.

I worked for UFA as a set designer, you know.

I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.

I had a lot of fun with my costume designer.

I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend.

There is the danger of over preparation, of loss of spontaneity; over rehearsal is the most terrible thing you can imagine. We do have a very close association between costume and set designer, though. And the cameraman is very important, of course.
