We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.

I remember when we were doing the love scene in Some Kind Of Hero, we got in bed nervously. Then he looked up, and it was very genuine, and he went, Richard Pryor's in bed with Lois Lane! And it was so cute!

Just the dream of every aging has-been actress who slipped out in public is to work with a bunch of gay boys.

Mostly, in The Great Waldo Pepper I remember the lovely Ed Herrmann befriending me and taking care of me. I was crying a lot. I was a real mess when we made that. But this is all such ancient history, Jesus Lord. Was this before or after The Sting?

I still get stopped by those freaky fundamentalists going Oh, I'm so glad you did Tribulation. And I wanna go, Don't count me into your group, honeybuns. I'm not one of you.

When you finally end something like Superman and then find yourself world-famous, it's pretty weird, lemme tell ya. Fame is weird, is what it really is. It's the weirdest thing in the world.

Nudity in the flesh doesn't bother me. But having my mind uncovered - that scares the hell out of me.
