I read this script and it struck a chord with me, and I thought, why does this story affect me so much? And I realized that it reminded me a lot of my relationship with my brother - two people who took very different routes to get to a very similar place. - Curtis Hanson Quotes

When you're dealing with someone like Shirley, it's a little insulting to ask her to come in for a meeting. But I wanted to meet her first and talk to her about the character, because there was a very big 'if' on it for me.

But I wanted to know she would be able to put a damper on all of that and go to a very quiet place to play this character who is literally hiding from life, who has put a lid on everything because of her guilt, her fear and her unresolved issues. If Shirley could go to that kind of a place, and then blossom as her character's life broadens, I thought it would be very exciting. - Curtis Hanson Quotes
