"It's just like when you have a cat" she laughs. "You don't think it stinks but when your friends come to see you at home the first thing they wonder is where that horrible smell comes from!"

In one scene, I wear a red leather skirt and a purple leopard-print. The costume designer and I were screaming with laughter as we put some of the outfits together. We were saying, "This is so Pat Benatar." 

"My movies are like my children. "Maybe some of them are handicapped, and some are really bad, but I love them all for different reasons."

"What I particularly love about the film is that it's two strong women who take things into their own hands."

"The terrible thing is, once you take off your clothes you have this tremendous sense of freedom, but everyone else is embarrassed."

"I'm not for that Fatal Attraction thing - on the first date making love in the sink. I like to get to know people better before I get in the sink."

"The chemistry on screen between me and Gina is a surprise. I have done films where I really loved the guy I was working with and you look at the screen and there is nothing going on at all."

"I've been talking to someone in the States about getting my own Internet site, a fan club sort of thing. Well, I thought somebody's going to do it, so I might as well do it myself, and at least it will have accurate information."

"This is the poster for England, see, which is just so cool. The American one was cheesy. This one I like because there's a big Jennifer Tilly and a little teeny-tiny Gina Gershon! My contract said nobody could be bigger than me."

"When I was going through my Cyndi Lauper nuclear- holocaust-bag-lady phase, I didn't get any work. The day I went out and got a tight red dress and shoes that crippled me... that's the day I started getting parts."

"As for myself, my own pet peeve is that when you see a film with a gay relationship at the centre of it, a lot of the time it seems like the film-maker’s saying, ‘Well, it’s okay for them to be gay... but we don’t actually want to see it!’ I hate that."

"I was originally down to play the lesbian Corky because I wanted to break out of being typecast as the actress with the obnoxiously irritating voice! I intended to play Corky with no make-up as the butchest woman imaginable."
