Words are like untying a corset - you can move into this great space with them.
Ali Smith
It's hard to act in a corset. Your breath gets cut off. You're squashed.
Alison Elliott
You have to also provide a video for it, look a certain way and big hair... If you're a woman it's even more strange with fake fingernails and corsets and all this stuff that was big in the 80s.
Ann Wilson
To put on a corset properly is as much of an art as to make a corset properly.
Anna Held
I played crying people in corsets for a long time, but I went into acting to be a character actor.
Anna Maxwell Martin
My performance outfits are very Marie Antoinette, sparkly corsets... and full skirts. And then we do another look that's '50s-inspired. Poufy skirts, big bows. Very fun, girlie and young, but otherwise, when I'm not in costume, I dress really normal.
Ariana Grande
For 'Rosa Luxemburg,' I read everything by and about her, but the first time I was stuck in that corset, I got an understanding of her that I'd never had before.
Barbara Sukowa
I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we're looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?
Brenda Blethyn
I'm one of those strange beasts who really likes a corset.
Cate Blanchett
If you look back at British history, women being allowed to play sport in schools meant they had to change their clothing. They couldn't be running around in their long skirts and corsets, because you can't.
Clare Balding
Changing genders is not a quick process... it takes about two hours to put on all the make-up and the lashes, and the hair, and the corsets, and the seven kinds of adhesives that work in tandem on my body to keep things up and keep things down.
Courtney Act
The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film.
Dinah Sheridan
I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films.
Corsetry is a body modification.
Dita Von Teese
The most uncomfortable costumes have been when you've had to wear a corset.
Eleanor Tomlinson
If there was a time period I could be in, costume-wise, I'd like to be in something with corsets. Like the 1910s, that kind of thing.
Emily Hampshire
I seem to disappoint people a bit. They want the full regalia - but I don't walk around in a corset the whole time.
Erin O'Connor
I'm resigned to the fact that the corseted history of America is not as exciting as that of Britain.
Felicia Day
Wearing a corset is extremely uncomfortable.
Florence Pugh
If you look at it, the corset is a very beautiful item, but when I put one on, I realized how little you could actually move. And I'm a very physical person: I talk with my hands. And I felt how the clothes took that away from me. And that was the idea, I think. It was a way of limiting women.
In Australia I was seen as somebody who did only very modern, contemporary stuff. Then as soon as I went overseas I did two period pieces so it was like, 'When are you going to get out of the corsets?' And I was thinking I just got into them!
I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.
Corsets were a challenge in 'Belle;' fake nails tripped me up in 'Blackbird.' Guess I'm not a mani type of girl!
Our minds aren't bound by a chronological corset. When thinking and dreaming, past, present and future are mixed up. That's also possible for a writer.
I like to accentuate the feminine form, so I'm a big fan of corsets. A woman's body is beautiful and should be shown off and celebrated. I love a simple and elegant dress that highlights my waist.
I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
Wearing corsets all the time was completely incapacitating, as far as digestion goes.
I think I've still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I'm not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!
It would be nice to really shed the corsets.
I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.
I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing.
Happiness is the sublime moment when you get out of your corsets at night.
I love a good corset.
I would love to do a period movie. I've always wanted to wear the corset, you know. It's a girl thing!
Probably the only type of cosmetic surgery I'd consider is having my bust reduced. It's alright for my current role in 'The Marquise' because it's a costume drama, which means boned corsets and a bit of cleavage, but it's a drag otherwise.
The novelty of corsets and dresses and hats very soon wears off.
Maybe people don't see me as believable playing a person of today. I guess I'm just more realistic in a corset and funny hairstyles.
You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?
If I had to model clothes in a time period other than the 21st century, I think I'd like to model way back when they just wore skin loincloths. That would be best suited for me - better than corsets. I'm quite claustrophobic.
My most recent purchase was a black lace corset.
The Twenties outfits are all about freedom and loose, flowing lines, whereas in 'Cinderella,' I had to wear corsets and big huge skirts.
Corsets are always hard to wear.
With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.
As someone who's been doing a lot of classical theater recently, I loved the idea of getting to run around in Steven Alan, and not be in a corset and a wig, and not have a dialect, and get to be in a 90-minute play with no intermission, and get to do real comedy.
With a corset on, you can't breathe properly.
I've never been happier to be born in this time than when I was wearing a corset.
Chanel took women out of corsets and put them into the 'simple little black dress,' the perfectly tailored suit, the bell-bottom sailor pants, and jersey tops.
I don't mind wearing a corset, it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can't slouch.
I'm taller than most actresses, so most corsets tend to be too short in the body.
When I was doing theater for all those years in New York, I did a lot of classical theater, wearing big corsets and big dresses and doing dialects. It's interesting that once I moved to TV, I'm playing these scrappy, contemporary toughies.
