If I'm in a bad mood, or if I'm uncomfortable, it's probably what I'm wearing that's making me feel that way.
Coming from the theatre I have played some fabulous characters where I get to wear gowns and I get to be a princess or someone from the 1920s, or I get to wear showgirl costumes. I'm used to wearing a wardrobe that changes how I feel.
The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.
London's inspired my wardrobe 100 per cent. Layering and having cool coats. The Brits just do it right.
Fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But very little. After all, if you have a serious drama, who cares about the clothes?
Clothing totally changes my perception of how I feel about myself depending on what it is that I'm wearing.
Oftentimes when I do a project I do get influenced by the wardrobe. I certainly learned a lot from 'Mad Men' and from Janie (Bryant) in particular. She's just so fabulous.
Using clothes to transform was a huge part of my childhood. But also, I've been acting forever, and wardrobe changes the way you feel, so it totally indicates the character you're going to play.
While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence, which, I believe, does make the woman.
I don't let my wardrobe dictate my diet.
