One of the themes of Butterfly is incest. Before now, I don't think people could deal with the subject. Now that there have been exposes in major magazines and on television shows, and several films, the subject is at least more out in the open.
I'd like to keep going, to keep exploring. It's like anything else there's no way you can reach any kind heights or potential in your first film.
You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping.
Maybe we'll go trick-or-treating for Halloween, and I'll go as Pia Zadora.
The future comes quickly. Before you know it, you turn around and it's tomorrow.
The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up.
