The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film
I'd love to be in a 1910s film - the era between the corsets and losing the corsets.
Over my desk hangs a poster from The Railway Children that my husband had framed for me. It is so lovely to see the children smiling as they run down the railway track.
I have so many favourite science fiction films. I would say 'Alien' and 'Aliens' are two of my favourite sci-fi films. Also 'Children of Men' would be one of my favourite science fiction films. I love the original 'Solaris' and the remake. And even though it wasn't a film, the series 'Battlestar Galactica' was one of my favourite TV shows.
With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.
If forced to choose my favourite film, I would have to say 'Raging Bull' because it was the first feature film I worked on, and it was like having pure gold in my hands. But my husband's film 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' is equally a favourite because of its enormous emotional power.
Children should Transcribe favourite Passages. A certain sense of possession and delight may be added to this exercise if children are allowed to choose for transcription their favourite verse in one poem and another.
My favourite film is probably 'Star Wars'. I do love 'Starship Troopers', it is a great film but it's not a film I watch over and over again. Whereas 'Star Wars' I've watched over and over again all my life, and it's a film I can tolerate watching with my children.
The virtuous woman must be treated like a relic - adored, but not handled; she should be guarded and prized, like a fine flower-garden, the beauty and fragrance of which the owner allows others to enjoy only at a distance, and through iron walls.
Vertigo is probably my favourite Hitchcock film and probably one of my favourite films of all time. It's a film that I'm obsessed with. I saw it on its first release in vista vision, projected in vista-vision, at the Capitol Theatre in New York. That moment when the nun comes up in the end... it's just an extraordinary shot.
A film will have many events such as audio release, promotional activities. I did not have that fancy-looking clothes to look good before the camera. So I used to ask my producers for the clothes I wore in the film. I still have my 'Yevadu Subramanyam' clothes in my wardrobe.
'The Silence of the Lambs' is my favourite book, favourite film.
I have lots of favourite memories but I can't say that I have a favourite film.
If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.
We outgrow love like other things and put it in a drawer, till it an antique fashion shows like costumes grandsires wore.
I am used to wearing corsets. Even when I was first starting out it was either Shakespeare or Chekov. Everything that I was doing involved corsets. I guess I am just not destined to breathe that deeply.
