I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set; the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.

When I think about a character, it does start with the shoes: What kind would she wear? How would she walk in them?

Do you know how hard it is to play a character where you're always in heels? Oh, my goodness!

Usually I'm very, very involved with choosing my character's wardrobe and knowing exactly how I want the character to look and this is the color palette and the textures and these are the kinds of shoes she'd wear.

When I step into a character's shoes, I don't judge them. I make a conscious effort not to look from the outside in but look from the inside out, and when you do that it allows you to feel and sense things more, and act and react from a core, you know?

I like to think I put some of myself in every character.

I feel like I'm a character already, as in, like, I love dressing up.

I buy shoes sometimes and use them as bookends. They're too beautiful to wear.

I think my own personal style always ends up seeping into characters that I play. I've always had a very distinct idea of fashion for myself, and what a character should wear.

I am the type of person that likes to put myself in someone's shoes to 'get' it.
