How do you find wearing costumes. Is that important to you when you’re acting?
I really enjoy that side—I definitely think the costume is one of the most important things for me when I’m acting because it just transforms you to that place straightaway. If I’m not feeling it or I’m finding it hard to access that world, the second you put in a corset or wig, you know that you’re there. So it’s so, so, so important. And I think as well, you get to dress up every day, but then if you’ve got a premiere or something, then you get to dress up and go really glam, which is really exciting and a way that you wouldn’t usually dress. It can be frustrating, though. You know, if you were just going to a friend’s party, maybe you wear something terrible and no one really sees it, but then if you’re going to a premiere and wear something really bad and someone takes a photo, it’s there forever! So I’m trying to be a bit more selective about what I wear.
Can it feel like a lot of pressure to dress for promotional tours?
I think especially for the big premiere nights and things like that, because in terms of the project you’re working on, it feels like it’s all culminating in that one night, and then you also feel like you want to do it justice with the thing that you’re wearing. But I try not to feel that pressure too much. Because it’s something that I enjoy, it makes it easier that it’s something that I look forward to and I think, I can’t wait to find the perfect outfit, and then the fun takes over any anxiety.
