Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Claudia Christian: (discussing her experiences filming her short film "The Experiment") I recall the experience as exhilarating, creative and extremely 'free'...I felt like our little crew was unencumbered by bureaucracy and studio influence and we were simply there to make the best little film we could for the least money in the quickest time.

Claudia Christian: I left home very young and because of that I've always been very responsible and willing to take any job. I never had a rich daddy or any of that stuff to support me. Even when I was married, I paid half the bills and did everything. So I did a lot of crap. I just had to take anything, because I like to live well. Now I'm feeling that I'm in a teeny corner where I can be a little bit choosy. That feels good. There are only so many times that people can forgive you for doing movies that go straight to cable.
