Favorite Quote #2: "This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock 'n roll, and if I may say so, I'm pretty good at it... Plus, being married and monogamous, it's the closest thing I can do to having sex without getting in trouble for it..."--Movieline, February 1998
