Bonnie on Only You:

"I loved Italy. My figure was accepted! It’s romantic, and with a great sense of history every time you open your eyes. I loved it there. I felt at home."
Internet chat

"Only You was the most fun, because I got to go to Italy for four months. For a girl like me that’s never really travelled that’s a big deal."
Internet chat

On her favourite role to date: (12/18/96)
"I loved the opportunity I had to play Kate in Only You. I really can’t beat playing a three dimensional character for two and a half months in Italy and getting paid for it."
Internet chat

My first big premiere was Only You, the movie I did with Marisa Tomei. And my publicist in it was kind of worried that I would like show up in, uh, my eighth grade graduation dress, or something -- which I wore like the first three times I was on Carson! I wore the same dress every time!

Conan: Oh seriously?

Bonnie: Yeah, I was like, "Oh, I'll put a pin on it this time!"

Movie Quotes:

Kate: All men should wear team jerseys, that on the front say liars, on the back, their name.
I married a liar. Why? Because I married a man.

(Faith tries on a wedding dress given to her by her future mother-in-law.)
Faith: Sweet of her, wasn't it?
Kate: If I had a dress like that, I'd give it away too.

Kate: We need help
Faith: Like a detective?
Kate: Like a psychiatrist

Kate: That’s Damon Bradley!?! Aragghgrghagh!

(Faith telling the girls of her engagement)
Kate: What is this Faith? Wine candles..what is it?
Faith: He proposed.
Kate: Oh Faith, that’s great, how great.
Leslie: Did he get down on one knee?
Faith: no, he turned down his beeper.
Kate: He’s a doctor, he’s practical, he doesn’t have to get down on his knees.
Kate: Let me see the ring. (Faith goes to her bag) You don’t have it on?
Kate: Ow, ow, ow, ow ,ow ,ow. I’m blind! Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful. Dwayne what a catch, he’s a doctor.
Leslie: So intelligent.
Kate: He’s a doctor, what do you want.
Leslie: Such a sense of humor.
Kate: Well he’s a doctor, it’s a trade off, he can’t have a sense of humor too. He saves lives.
Faith: He’s a foot doctor.
Kate: He saves feet. Feet are important.
What is it that you’re waiting for Faith? Faith don’t wait. If you wait, you’ll wind up with nothing.

(watching South Paciffic with Some Enchanted Evening)
Kate: Some psychiatrists on Donahue say that love songs are just a cruel hoax that feed people’s fantasies. Romance on a daily basis, nobody has that.
Faith: Kate, somebody wrote those songs, they came from someone’s experience.
Kate: Nah, I think they came out of someone’s imagination.

Faith’s engagement party
Kate: (to Larry) I have a headache
Larry: Again you have a headache?
Kate: Yes, but not one of those headaches Larry, I have 50 bobby pins holding my hair together. (finds a loose bit) What’s this, it’s down, put it up.
Larry: Look, it’s non exploitational, everybody wants money, that’s what makes this country great doll.
Kate: Don’t call me doll ok?
Larry: You used to love it when I called you doll.
Kate: Well you said it differently then.

(Faith is trying on her wedding dress)

Faith: Life’s not like it is in the movies right?
Kate: No, it’s not, though from day one everyone conspires to tell you it is. Your mother, your father, teachers, priests, everybody. Dreams come true, the good guy wins, people live happily ever after, and all that crap. Then one day you wake up and realise that you life should be..different.
Faith: But Katie, dreams aren’t crap. What about unforgettable moments? You can’t tell me you don’t have one memorable, unforgettable moment, because I know you’ve had thousands of them. We’re having one right now..I’m in my wedding dress Katie.
Those are the things to notice.
(Kate starts to cry)
Kate, what’s wrong?
Kate: I don’t know..Faith, I’ve got to talk to you about something.
Faith: What?
Kate: Larry and I..we’re just…
(the phone rings)

(Looking through Damon’s hotel room)
Kate: Garbage, good idea, Columbo always goes through the garbage.

(Getting lost in Rome)
Faith: The point is, we’re on the wrong road, we’ve been on the wrong road for an hour.
Kate: The point is, we’re looping, we’re looping around see? We looped right back to that freeway, or turnpike, or whatever they call it. Elfreewayo…

Kate: I told you a litre was less than a gallon.
Faith: We would have had enough gas to get us there if you hadn’t gotten us lost. Besides, a litre is less than a mile.
Kate: Right, less than a mile. So we should have been able to cover more of them.

(Peter explaining himself to Kate)
Peter: I felt something…

Kate: Mania?

I really recommend that you get the cd. The music is by Rachel Portman who was nominated for an Oscar this year for Chocolat. It’s really beautiful music.
