Movieline's 13 Best Quotes from the Project Runway Castoffs We've Interviewed
Amy Sarabi on her infamous "hair bowl" dress:
"I knew the silhouette that I wanted to create, I'll say. I didn't know if I
was going to be able to engineer and create it in that amount of time. And whatever was going to go inside, that came second to the actual garment. In the end, what disappointed me the most, over the fact that I have crazy hair extensions in it, was that the garment itself wasn't standing up the way I wanted it to, or envisioned it to. That was what really bothered me. Aside from the hair being something really random to stuff inside, the actual garment wasn't the way I envisioned it. So that's where I think the problem really lied. And was I happy with the garment in the end? No. [Laughs.] I'd be lying if I said it was. It was crazy."
Anthony Williams (first elimination interview) on Heidi Klum:
"In my mind, she's a beautiful hanger. In my house, hangers don't talk."
Jonathan Peters, on the judges' stubbornness and Maya's self-elimination:
"I don't think it was fair that she was painted as a referential designer by the judges. I don't think that's true at all. Maya is a very thoughtful, very introverted designer. To kind of pigeonhole her -- and the judges have this tendency to pigeonhole everybody, by the way -- if you're a 'referential designer,' you're a referential designer forever. If I'm making [model] Cerri's legs look short and wide, I'm making Cerri's legs look short and wide forever. There's no convincing them otherwise. And so, I think for Maya, coupled with the stress and looking at the runaround -- we're working every single day with two, maybe three hours of sleep -- it starts to wear at you, you know?"
Anthony Williams (second elimination interview) on Mila's attitude:
"You know what, I am amazed by her on this show. I am amazed how a grown woman -- an old, grown woman -- goes to a reality show where she has to audition, and looks around the room and doesn't see anyone that is competition for her. Do you know how big your balls have to be to say something like that?"
Jay Sario on Mila's Bryant Park collection
"It was expected. It was black and white. It's the stuff she's been doing over and over and over again over the past challenges. If you look at her portfolio, it's black and white. I didn't really see that as a threat."
