#Quote
1It was really fun to work with him. He is really sweet and accessible. Not a smart-ass and namby-pampy. A nice guy. [About working with Daniel Craig.]
2He just phoned me, and asked if I wanted to make a trip to Paris and get in some nice clothes. It's just a bit-part, in which I must come in through the door in a tight purple dress, like a real snake kind of lady and frustrate the two main characters idea. And I was really surprised to discover that the two were main characters were Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates. But it was incredibly fun to do. [About her role in Chéri (2009).]
