I met Claxton on the set of The Cincinnati Kid.

It was a good experience working with Roger Vadim and Jane Fonda.

I don't know why, but I always feel a kind of necessity to write things that are beyond acceptance, that are too offensive or something. For people to read them and say, Ha-ha-ha, very funny. No, we can't print that.

Writing on a contract for a major studio you get the very best.

Sometimes we would be staked out in the middle of the river, several barges tied together. So we could party.

In the case of The Loved One, I was hired to collaborate on an updated version of the book.

The Loved One has been the most underrated film I've worked on.
