But you know, there's always a danger nowadays that films are gonna be brought up to Canada for budget reasons. And that's something that really concerns me.

But movies make a lot of money, and there are persons who want to get in and control the content of those things.

I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.

Certainly since Freudian times, we all recognize that there is something called the libido, and that there are various ways of inspiring it.

And I liked this extreme character of de Sade.

To me, thoughts are fun and art is fun. The strength of our society should not be idle entertainments but the joy of pursuing ideas.

What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.

This one, even though it called for San Francisco, I think they wanted to initially shoot part of the film up here, you know get the exteriors and then go back to L.A. We really fought to get it up here and I think Paramount was really pleased.

And I liked that idea of a tough, no-nonsense woman. I'm attracted to that type of woman.
