Quote from : The Sense and Sensibility Screenplay and Diaries: Bringing Jane Austen's Novel to Film Book

Press conference [on the movie ] yielded the usual crop of daftness. I've been asked if I related personally to Carrington's tortured relationship with sex and replied that no, not really, I'd had a very pleasant time since I was fifteen. This elicited very disapproving copy from the Brits ... No wonder people think we don't sex in England.
