The cars moving in stereo, the slow motion, the water spraying on her, the fact that it was in one of the great movies of all time -- [it] always will go down as my favorite nude scene. … I [also] tell people a lot, too, when they ask me what’s the most famous nude scene of all time? You touched on Titanic with Kate Winslet, because so many people saw it. The movie was rated PG. I think that’s probably a movie that almost… more people saw that than almost any nude scene of all time.I think, and we have it in the movie, that famous Sharon Stone Basic Instinct [scene].

Of course that had to be in our documentary. That’s one of the all-time greats.
