I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.
Also there is a twist to the story as I'm being haunted and driven crazy, attacked and so on. All I seem to do is run and scream and cry in every scene.
There's an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.
I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.
Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing--it's something so impersonal really.
10 (1979) was amazing! I had no career before "10" and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.
I grew up on the beaches of Southern California surfing and sailing and I've always loved horses so it was part of my dream that I was able to fulfill to have horses.
I found my love when I was 17 years old and my love is 100% honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.
It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.
