With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.

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.

So wearing a corset certainly changes your state of mind.

Couture has a power that ready-to-wear can never have; the attention of les petites mains as they sew; all that love and belief goes into the cloth. That's what you feel when you wear it.

In fashion, the time is so short, and even with pre-collection, there are not only dresses, shoes, bags, and furs but now raincoats and T-shirts. It's just an endless amount of work that we have to produce in no time.

I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films.

I hate wearing anything tight. A corset is my idea of torture.

Fashion needs to be worn.
