“I'm not saying that the movies created these situations, because there are a whole bunch of things.

Mohican Press interview (2005)

“There were mornings in the make-up trailer where I'd have fits of laughter because of the extraordinary daily events of the shoot. Sometimes, it was all too much to believe. But the wildest things happened. And Daniel was a wonderful and trustworthy partner. And a fine prankster as well.”

Mohican Press interview (2005)
