| Quotes: |
I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.
<br />
<hr>
Also there is a twist to the story as I'm being haunted and driven crazy, attacked and so on. All I seem to do is run and scream and cry in every scene.
<br />
<hr>
There's an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.
<br />
<hr>
I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.
<br />
<hr>
Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing--it's something so impersonal really. |
