“From our first meeting I was very impressed by her. She clearly had more potential as a dramatic actress than one would think, given her comedic performance on Friends .”
“We were devastated, ... We spent two years developing it. I had even flown to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) to do research on my own dime. So we could have sunk into a deep depression. Instead, we made a movie.”
“After being so frustrated by the 'ETC,' the idea of putting something together quickly, without a lot of studio interference, was really appealing. So she (Renfrew) took the script to InDigEnt, they loved it, and we were off to the races.”
“It was in a lot of ways a very experimental project, because the narrative is nonlinear and in some cases, contradictory. We wanted it to feel elusive, unsettled. I thought Courteney would be really good in the part, but I also knew it was sort of hard to explain. I didn't know what she would think,”
“What's just as amazing is that she had to start work on the last season of 'Friends,' so she was going back and forth between our shooting locations and the studio, and from bubbly Monica to the deeply troubled Sophie.”
“(Assistant) coach (Dick) Anderson has been working real hard with me on my technique so that I can go in. Luckily for me, the offense got ahead today and I got a chance to show people what I can do.”
“When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.”
