[sobre la filmación de 'Jesucristo, Superstar'] Norman Jewison nos tuvo allí mucho antes de la fecha de rodaje, solo para que pudiéramos aclimatarnos al clima y poder ponernos el sol en el cuerpo. No podíamos creer cuando vimos los diarios, viendo cómo nos dejaban mechas en el pelo por el sol, yendo a por lo que éramos, los estadounidenses y canadienses que venían allí con un aspecto impecable, para convertirnos en gente del desierto.
