On why she's seen the movie a million times

"I showed that movie to my son when he was about 5 years old. I tell you, this kid watched it like he had it on a loop and still to this day certain things will happen and my son — he's 16 now — will say something like, "Listen to me, Smalls!" you know. It still has such a connection for me and my son 11 years later."
