You definitely put a bit of yourself in every character, and you always have to have an understanding and empathy for the person that you play.

Just wearing the corset means that you can never really relax from the moment that you put it on. So, there's a constant sort of strain and you have to hold yourself in a certain way. It's very uncomfortable. But again you instantly understand the repression that women feel and how much they were captives. It's sort of sad really.

I would hope everyone would be a feminist.

Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.

Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.

Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.

I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.
