I kept a very relaxed and studiously unserious set, but even I was a little shocked when
Winona insisted on rehearsing her love scene topless, who was I to protest Unfortunately, we were using two cameras so the set was not as closed as it should have been. Winona was classically undisturbed, making Mrs. Roper-like cracks about how she hadn't been on a date for 11 months–Daniel Waters
