<p>Patricia Arquette and Dulé Hill, 'Holes' -</p>

<p>Patricia Arquette "loved" the material of the movie Holes, but admittedly struggled with some of the physicality</p>

<p>The actress shared that she was "too short" to ride a horse in the movie</p>

<p>The book by Louis Sachar was adapted into a 2003 movie starring Arquette, Shia LaBeouf, Khleo Thomas, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, and Eartha Kitt</p>

<p>"I can fix that" was a famous line from 2003's Holes, but there was one thing Patricia Arquette couldn't quite fix: her horseback riding skills.</p>

<p>Arquette, 57, who played Kissin' Kate Barlow, admitted during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that she is "not a good horseback rider," which made filming the neo-Western a challenge.</p>

<p>"It was fun playing with guns. Learning to bullwhip was really fun, [but] I'm not a good horseback rider," the Academy Award winner said, mimicking falling off a horse.</p>

<p>"After a while, they're like, 'Maybe you can't learn how [to ride],'" she recalled. "I'm like, 'I'm too short, man! I can't get my legs to hold onto that horse!' "</p>

<p>Thankfully, Arquette noted that she "had a great stunt double who was riding the horse most of the time."</p>

<p>Arquette's character fell in love with Dulé Hill's Sam, who repeated the now-famous line "I can fix that" when she needed help around her schoolhouse.</p>

<p>"I love their love affair. It really touched that true romantic and part of me that liked 'til death do us part," she said. "At first, people said [I can fix that] to me a lot. Now and then, when someone says it to me, I'm like 'Awwww.' "</p>

<p>The Severance actress said she still "loves the material," and often gets recognized for her work in the film.</p>

<p>"I love the Louis Sachar book. So many young people read it. A certain age group of young people come up to me like, 'I love you in…' and I'm like, 'Holes,'" she shared. "And they're like, 'How did you know?!' "</p>

<p>"A lot of people read that in school, and it was an important part of their life, and I feel lucky as an actor to be a part of people's moments in their lives," she added.</p>

<p>The book by Sachar was adapted into the 2003 movie starring Shia LaBeouf, Khleo Thomas, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, and Eartha Kitt. The dramedy grossed over $16 million in its opening weekend, finishing in the second spot at the box office, per Box Office Mojo.</p>

<p>Sachar's book follows Stanley Yelnats as he is sent to Camp Green Lake, a boys' detention center, after being wrongfully convicted of theft. There, he and a group of other boys are tasked with digging holes every day under the watch of the strict warden. As the story continues, Stanley learns more about his past and develops a close friendship with his fellow campers.</p>

<p>Holes is available to stream on Disney+.</p>
