| Quotes: |
[on working with Michael Caine on Water (1985)] He is without doubt the nicest human being I've ever worked with. I mean, what a pleasure! It would be nice if I could only do Michael Caine movies from now on. I'd be very happy.
<br />
<hr>
[on doing topless scenes in films] I don't think it's terrible. I'll do anything if it's a good part. The only thing that freaks me out is total nudity. I'm fine as long as I can keep my G-string on, but without my G-string I get nervous.
<br />
<hr>
[on acting] I don't know anything about Chavanasky, or whatever you call him. I really don't think about anything until I get on the set. |
