- [on researching the Holocaust for her film, Shining Through (1992)] I didn't know that 6 million Jews were killed. That's a lot of people... until I started researching the movie I didn't know it was that many people. I thought it was like in the hundreds of thousands. I didn't realize it was 6 million people. What I was trying to say was I think a lot of people don't know it was that severe. I wasn't born during the war. I was born in '57... but I think a lot of people don't know.

- [her adult movie actress character in Body Double] I know she's a controversial figure, but she pertains to women in all areas. She's proud of what she does and she's not affected by what people think. This is a means to an end for her. She does what she does and she does it the best. She's a business woman, first of all.
