I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car, anything to be in the studio and watch her work.
I start with actors that I know personally or I know their work, and there are things about their work or their presence or their own personality that make a character, that exaggerates some qualities and suppresses other qualities. It's always a real collaboration for me.
An evening dress that reveals a woman's ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.
