When asked which of her father's films she liked. (edit)
Jamie: I wear black long sleeved shirts and pants, and usually a baseball cap – everyday! I stopped showing my arms long ago. I was on Jay Leno and I remember waving goodbye, and I swear to god if you watch a tape of it, you’ll see I get this panic look in my eye. I look at my right arm and there’s something moving that I wasn’t planning on moving. Since that time I’ve just realized that people have this image of my figure, so I wear no clothes that attract any attention. No one has seen me in a bathing suit in ten years. --Jamie's reply when asked how she stays in shape. (edit)
