- [on her on- and off-screen chemistry with Gene Wilder, who played Teddy Pierce in The Woman in Red (1984)]: Gene was more than a co-star to me, he was my father in film. I loved him and Gilda deeply. I cry with every word.
- [Of Gene Wilder]: He was very undressing with his eyes though, but he didn't get lucky. Throughout the whole film what he did for me was amazing. He was acting with me, he was directing me. It is a lot for a man to do - and his girlfriend was in it too.
- [Who described about Gene Wilder's real-life persona]: He was very different off-screen.He was the funny man on-screen but in reality, he wasn't funny. He was very quiet and kind of shy. He'd get very demonstrative telling a story - that's when you'd see him come alive.
- [on working with John Hughes during the production of Weird Science] John (Hughes) was a genius at comic relief, family situations, and geeks getting the girl. And it allows all of us humans who are insecure -and most of us are- to feel like a hero. That's the beauty of the fantasy of the film, it's that these boys who didn't stand a chance with the girls, actually get to be heroes and everyone loves to see the fallen person land on their feet.
