But when we entered the room, she'd become aroused and the left side of her mouth would twist into these contortions where the lips would push out, almost like she was chewing tobacco. So I kind of took it from her," he remarked, according to the BBC.

"Six months after Scarface, truth to tell. "I had to take a job with a friend in real estate development for a few months just to get by," he once said.
