Anna changes. That's something that neither Deborah Kerr or Irene Dunne could do. They had to start off soft and stay that way. In our version, she's sort of tough and stubborn, but as time goes on she softens.
Each brings his prejudices to the table. At first, she thinks he's a heathen and a barbarian. Then, he reminds her that her native England has invaded other countries, and the English believe their way is the only way. As they grow to understand each other, it becomes a love story.
I just want to make movies. I really love movies. I want to be involved with them.

I don't see anyone walking around with a puppet on his hand in real life. Puppet therapy is very common for children. It's not something that adults take on.
I don't make movies because I love to act. I make movies because I like to make movies, and I like to be a part of that process.
You have to make a big effort to try to have a life, and that's important to you only if you spent your entire childhood not having one,
I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago in the stone age
