It's Weird Because Here I Am, An Actress, Representing - At Least In Some Sense - An Industry That Places Crushing Standards On All Of Us. Not Just Young People, But Everyone. Standards Of Beauty. Of A Good Life. Of Success. Standards That, I Hate To Admit, Have Affected Me.

Patricia [rozema] Is Really Special, And She Really Worked Hard To Make The Environment And The Landscapes' Natural Beauty Come Alive. She Was Not Forceful With Anything, But Enabled It To Really Have This Poetic Nature.

Diablo Cody Wasn't Writing A Script About A 16-year Girl That Got An Abortion. She Was Writing A Script About A 16-year Old Girl That Got Pregnant, Decided To Have The Baby And Give It To A Young Yuppy Uptight Couple For Adoption. That's What The Movie Is About.
