[her sexual fantasy: having a threesome with two bisexual men] I have a "Jules and Jim" fantasy, definitely - you know, two men and a woman in love.

I once said that Willem Dafoe, Liam Neeson, and James Woods were among the best endowed males in Hollywood. I said that if you put the three of them in a room together, "there wouldn't be room for anyone else." After that, everyone thought I'd had sex with all three men. I haven't, or else I wouldn't have talked about it. And Jimmy Woods is so proud that he's happy to share the fact with you.... But I have seen Willem--I had a bird's-eye view when we did a nude scene in Light Sleeper (1992). When you do a nude scene with an actor, he sometimes gets an erection if he's into the scene. It's sort of a compliment, isn't it? I told Willem I would be insulted if he didn't get an erection. And one line we had in our nude scene was "Quite an erection you have there." And it truly was.
