"Caddyshack was my first film and I'll say that the end product was so completely different, it was originally about the caddie," she said in a 2012 MegaCon Orlando interview. "So at first, I had nothing to lose to audition. It was fun. All I did was focus on making the person sweat. Look 'em in the eye, do that thing many women know how to do."
Commenting on her career, she said, "When you play with the legend, you just stay focused, do your job. Later, when you're done, it'll hit you -- It's quite remarkable."
