Hallway Quotes

I think we can all relate to Bridget standing in a hallway wanting to know, `Do you love me or not?` She just blurts it out and maybe that makes her seem like she`s not strong.

(On the Oscar Nomination): I`d shot all night and was staying at the Banff Springs Resort Hotel in Canada, which is absolutely gorgeous.

I came back and there was a crew there. They said, "Would you mind?" and I thought, "You mean, you want me to sit there and if I`m not nominated, you guys go home?"

(on The Outpost (1995/I)): "It was the best cast and the worst script. What can you do? The whole thing was us running around in some underground hallway, holding a stick with a syringe scotch-taped to it and chasing a long-haired body builder with this phallic thing that comes out of his mouth.

And a hand reaches for the knob, and you know, the moment or the moment before or the moment after, based on the timing of the editor and the director, there`ll be a big moment of an attack or a scare. What Shimizu does is a moment where Sarah Michelle Gellar is opening this closet, to see what`s inside, and we Americans think something is going to jump out, there`s nothing in the closet but darkness. And then you start to realize, within that darkness, you see a shape. Is it a knee? Oh, yes it`s a knee, and there`s a face in there. That`s always been there.
