I love that movie so much because I was really young when I saw it and those actors were so brave. The sex scenes, the nudity and the love story is epic. They are real actors in that movie. That's when I realized what I wanted to do. I wanted to play really brave characters and work with these people. Any time it’s on television I watch it and I cry.
