Quotes[]

  • You have more say on a low-budget film. You don't have a million people telling you what to do.
  • As I've done more and more films, I find that they sometimes impose nudity in certain scenes where I really don't want to do it. There should be some kind of restraint on love scenes. I love to watch them when they're nicely shot, but don't necessarily show a lot. You can show just a little bit and still get the idea.
  • I like playing tough girls, because they're so different from who I am. It's really boring to play the good, nice girl--that's too much like my real personality.
