A Quote by Martin Freeman

I have never been in, nor have I had any strong particular desire to be in, what is termed a costume drama, but I keep forgetting to think of 'Charles II' as a costume drama.
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.
I am not indulgent. I think constructing a scene elaborately - with art, costume, and visual drama - is not indulgence. Other people should do it, too.
I didn't want to do a costume drama. It's a great thing to do, but I've done them, and I didn't want to do the same thing again. Of course, costume dramas can be from all different eras, but at the time, I just felt very sure that I didn't want to be boxed in as an English actress. I wanted to be an actress, rather than an English actress.
Steampunk is...the love child of Hot Topic and a BBC costume drama
We have a costume closet at home. My family will put on a costume for any excuse.
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.
I'd love to do a costume drama movie. For no other reason, except that it sounds fun to me.
I love period drama as much as the next person, but there's a tendency to let all of the costume get in the way of the people.
Costume is always an asset. Normal costume you have a lot to say about - if you're wearing suits or ties, and what color you want, and how it's going to be cut, and stuff like that, and whether or not you're going to wear a hat, and blah, blah, blah. But, when you're wearing a special costume, and of course, costume is probably the second ingredient in character, script being first, I always find that the costume does a lot to cement your character, to put it firmly in mind.
No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama.
The costume the actors wear and if they're in stylized makeup and wigs in a live-action movie let's say, in a big costume drama, even though it does give them a sense of great ambience and environment and they kind of feel like they're in a great court, or if they feel like they're in the old west, or if they feel like they're being chased by hobbits or dinosaurs, it all comes down to the actors looking each other in the eye.
Drama is hate. Drama is pushing your pain onto others. Drama is destruction. Some take pleasure in creating drama while others make excuses to stay stuck in drama. I choose not to step into a web of drama that I can't get out of.
Costume is a massive thing. I think costume makes you stand differently.
Yes, I would love to step outside the costume drama category and play a young urbanite, something closer to who I am.
When I decided to go to university I didn't know what I wanted to do. When I had an opportunity to take an elective I took Drama by chance, even though I'd never taken a Drama course or even been in a play in high school. Two years later I was majoring in Drama and I knew I wanted to be an actor.
'Agnivarsha' is not a costume drama like Shashi Kapoor's 'Utsav' or Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas.' This one has no elaborate jewellery and clothes. It is sparse and stark.
