My pro-choice activism keeps me busy.

I love horror movies because they're really fun. They tap into those wonderful primal emotions.

I'm not really into horror movies.

I was with Brian De Palma at the time, and he said he wrote the role specifically for me. I don't know what that says about the way he saw me, since the role was of a castrating killer. Brian came one morning to the house, said "Here's your Christmas present." He wrote the character to have a Swedish accent, but since I couldn't pull that off, he switched it to French-Canadian. It was such a romantic time in my life. Everyone was young and passionate and convinced they were going to change film forever.

I was briefly bitter.

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

I was saying to Paul Schrader that he missed the idealism and the passion of that era in Hollywood, but also in American life, that '60s sense of optimism and hope.
