City Of Angels

Nichols: What an inspiration.

Thompson: I thought a Christmas card of an angel from, you know, the Queen of England, basically. It was one of those wonderful little Renaissance angels with wispy hair. And Mike, you wanted a proper angel.

This is a very sexual angel. You get to seduce both Justin and Meryl.

Thompson: The sex! It was just such a wonderful thing to play. It's a kind of sexuality that's like fire. Because I think that part of the play is fantastically erotic.

This is the first time you've acted with Meryl and you get to have a cosmic orgasm together. In midair.

Thompson: Our breastbones were literally tied together; there were like six inches between us. And our glasses knocked as we put them on to look at the monitor. We were shrieking with hysteria.
