I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm taller than most actresses, so most corsets tend to be too short in the body.
In Australia I was seen as somebody who did only very modern, contemporary stuff. Then as soon as I went overseas I did two period pieces so it was like, 'When are you going to get out of the corsets?' And I was thinking I just got into them!
I love a good corset.
So wearing a corset certainly changes your state of mind.
I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.
I don't mind wearing a corset, it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can't slouch.
When you're wearing a corset for a long period of time, things that were important to you hours before are no longer important, because doing them exhausts you.
The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film.
I hate wearing anything tight. A corset is my idea of torture.
With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.
