I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.

I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.

All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.

I have worked with some of the most amazing costume designers in the world.

I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.

I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.

I love period pieces. But it's hard to get money to make costumed dramas, so we'll see.

The costumes are insane on 'Once Upon a Time.' It did influence my taking the job, the fact that not only would I be horseback riding and sword fighting and traipsing through the woods but I would be doing all those things in insane, medieval garb.

I loved every minute of working in wardrobe. But I love being an actress so much more. I don't think I was very good in costume, so it's better that I prefer being an actress.
