- Mae: (talking about Alex Linz) Well, if he drank caffeinne, he would be able to walk up walls. We had fun and teased each other. I had no idea what a paramecium was, and he told me.
- Mae: (talking about why she took on her movie One Fine Day) When I did the screen test, I got ice cream. I think it was a sundae.
