Quotes from Stacy Martin

Deborah Francis-White makes everything better in my opinion.

I've definitely had inappropriate comments. I've had a producer tell me: 'I'm thinking about you constantly.' He didn't say: 'I'm thinking about you for this project.' He said: 'I'm thinking of you constantly.' It's definitely inappropriate. You can't say that to an actor.
