  • I thought we were making a nice little movie. That's how it was regarded by everyone else, too.

  • Originally the film opened with Ryan in the doctor's office, being told his wife is dying. Then we see him walking the streets, and the story is told in flashback.

  • So I decided to move that scene in the doctor's office to two-thirds into the movie, after the viewers had come to know Ryan and Ali and share in their happiness.

  • Do you remember a scene with Ryan and Ali playing in the snow? Well, that was improvised.

  • We'd be working in our motel room through the night, and I'd come up with an idea at two in the morning, and he'd start jumping up and down, pacing across the room, or whatever.

  • It's so embarrassing to receive an award for doing what you should be doing.

  • Howard Minsky had gotten the script to her agent prior to my involvement.
