My mother is a survivor who's had a lot of things happen in her life that have been very trying.
That was certainly true the first time, when I did Body Heat, the first movie that I directed. I was looking for a vessel to tell a certain kind of story, and I was a huge fan of Film Noir, and what I liked about it was that it was so extreme in style.
The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a second sight.
