If I were born in the 1700s, I would look like a rounded man.
In the 18th century, if women wanted to travel and they dressed as a man, people would not look twice. Your clothes said everything. Also there were masters and servants swapping clothes. You could be anything, your clothes told everything!
I'm not sure I had the legs for togas.
When I was auditioning for 'True Grit,' I was on the Paramount lot. I was wearing clothes from the 1800s that were big and uncomfortable.
I love a good corset.
With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.
The costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.
On corsets: I said, You have got to be kidding. I am an ape and yet I am still expected to squeeze myself into one of those damn things.
What a pretty thing man is when he goes in his doublet and hose and leaves off his wit!
