[to a gargoyle] Why was I not made of stone like thee?

Pity? Pity me, Quasimodo. To be a man of God, and to love a woman; and to love her more than God.

About
[The executive] said, "Do you want to play it?" I said, 'Which part?' She said, "Quasimodo." I said, "You really don't have to pay me.' My agent was sitting next to her and said, "I would sort of like you to pay him.' That's how it happened."
