Talking about if she ever think about coming back to TV] No, but my dream collaboration would be me and Tarantino, and I have a funny story about it... I was in the cinema a few weeks ago in West Hollywood, watching a really bad movie. It's a really tiny cinema that seats about 50 people, but there were only six of us in there at about two in the morning, and this man at the front of the theater he's laughing his head off, cackling, and the film is really sad, so it's totally inappropriate. He keeps laughing the whole film and it's totally driving me bonkers and then the lights go up at the end, he walks out with his date, and who is it? Tarantino. It was so funny. I've always had this dream of working with him and he's just right there.
