Quotes:
"I don't know if directors go, 'Hey! We've got another suicide--let's call Robin Tunney! It's weird, but they're all different, and I guess it gives the characters some kind of power... At least I play women who are strong enough to take the power into their own hands! And kill themselves! So many women in films just shoot themselves in the head anyway, because they're not really there for any reason."--Movieline, JULY 1997
