“Of all the movies I’ve worked on? Wow. Shot that was hard to shoot. My God. Well, I did this movie in Australia called Little Monsters, and it had music, children, animals,” she stated.
She continued:
“You could imagine how tough it was to get all those things to cooperate. So I can’t remember one shot, but I just remember that movie was hard to make. And sometimes we were shooting without the children, and I had to sing to an open space. It was wild.”
