[Weinstein] tried to make it look like a love story, so that teenagers would go see it. He made a trailer with me and Penelope Cruz swimming around in the water, skinny-dipping, with Bono singing, and Billy's going, ‘Look, I love U2, but it's just not appropriate.’ And on the poster, they put, ‘Some passions can never be tamed,’ which is exactly what the movie's not about.

At the end, it was R-rated, so teenagers couldn't go anyway.”
