Bo Derek Net Worth

Bo Derek's Quotes

• I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.
• Also there is a twist to the story as I'm being haunted and driven crazy, attacked and so on. All I seem to do is run and scream and cry in every scene.
• There's an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.
• I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.
• Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing--it's something so impersonal really.
