I just remember him [Baz Luhrmann] making me laugh, and his accent.

[Romeo + Juliet] is relevant when Hamlet and all of that was out, when [William] Shakespeare wrote it. It's relevant now. It's not a shocker, but then it is. I guess so because I'm in it, so it's shocking that it's still on TV. People are still talking about it. Hey, I'm still getting royalty checks from it. It's amazing to me and I hope it continues forever.

The story of the movie [Romeo + Juliet] is timeless. It's relevant then.

I even have some stories of people telling me how that song has changed their life, how it got them through hard times, how it saved their life when they were on the verge of thinking of doing the worst. That just really amazes me, that that movie [Romeo + Juliet] and that part in the movie are still having a huge effect on people's lives today.

[Leonardo DiCaprio] is so cool. He was one of the coolest, down-to-earth people that I think I've ever met. I've never experienced meeting someone like that, [who could] just be so cool and down-to-earth and welcoming.

I still have so much gratitude for being part of something so great that is still around 20 years later, played in school and still getting the recognition that it gets. It is shocking, but then like I said, it's timeless so it isn't.
