Trivia and Quotes
Quotes
 About her reaction to Arnold Schwarzenegger being cast as the Terminator in the original film: "I didn`t take Schwarzenegger very seriously as an actor at that time. I said, `Oh Lord, why cast a man who looks like a machine as a machine? Cast somebody who`s very thin to do these superhuman acts.` And I was wrong. He was used tremendously effectively, and he was served very well by that film." At the 1997 Oscars, about then-husband James Cameron: "My husband is the sexiest man in the world."
My heart is so light that it`s amazing. I get to play all this grief, all this loss, all this disaster and chaos. It`s hysterically funny. I am very light. I keep saying I`m Lucy Ricardo trapped in somebody else`s body.
Talking about the development of the Sarah Connor character from the Terminator films: "A woman who grows and transforms on screen is always a wonderful thing to play. Sarah went from a vulnerable, normal girl to someone who finds all of her deep reservoirs of strength and comes through it all."
[talking about James Cameron after their divorce]: I love him as much as I ever did. But that doesn`t mean that the heartache wasn`t huge and I haven`t suffered. I knew how Jim was when I married him and I love him still.
