1 | [on leaving the acting business] These straight-to-video, schlocky films I was getting were giving me an ulcer, basically because I was the only one on the set that cared about anything... Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away. |
2 | Crocodiles are really bold, and they do come up on land. |
3 | I've never had to do anything I didn't believe in. Sometimes, that meant being poor and waitressing a while longer, but I've always stuck with it. |
4 | After Crocodile Dundee (1986), I turned down lots of stuff, most of it where I'd play the girlfriend of some funny man. |
