    • Mary: (About Back To The Future Part III) The last third of the film I feel like a female Indiana Jones, you know. I loved it. It`s really physical and full of action, and it was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it because I haven`t really done that.
    • Mary: (From her second view of Back To The Future Part III) Chris and I were kind of being overly zealously about our dance one night, and he went one way and I went the other, and I tore a ligament in my foot, which made it not quite as much fun over the next few weeks to dance on it. But I found that I`d get so excited when they`d say "Action", and we`d dance, it wouldn`t really hurt until he said "Cut," and then I`d feel a shooting pain going up my leg. But we had agreed.
    • Mary: (From her view of Back To The Future Part III). I think it has been fun for Chris, because I never thought people would necessarily think He was a romantic-lady man. But every woman on the set has been watching him go, "Ah!", because he's really wonderful! He`s really fantastically romantic in this part.
