[Filming was arduous because the stars did their own stunts.] He told me how to keep safe, ... He was always taking care of me, helping me know about the explosives before we had to jump off the boat. |
And as a child, we have such a wonderful thing as children, that we can just make the best of everything, and say, Well, this must be what everybody else is experiencing, and I've got to make the best of it. You don't know that it's not good until you witness something that it seems better. |
