"Although she's really forceful and she's kind of driving the action, saying 'We've got to do this, We've got to do that,' there's an edge of... I don't know what, not even weepiness, she just gets very upset. In 1960 that behavior would be considered normal. In 1998 it would be weird. I had to find a way to make it work for me. So in the places where she had that kind of emotion, I used aggression instead" --- JULIANNE MOORE |
