Personal quotes
"Many of the things we did in that film were so hysterically over the top that I spent most of the time just trying to look at the cameramen without bursting out laughing. If I made eye contact, I would lose control. And I lost it a lot of times." (about filming Friday the 13th: A New Beginning)
"If you go back over all the Friday movies, you notice that the people who make these films love to see blondes running. I knew how to run and I was blonde, so I had an edge."
"I really feel the Friday the 13th films are among the better examples of the horror genre. I felt that even doing Part V made me part of a classic film series."
