"No,
Drew's making the right decision. And Matt, instead of sitting there pouting
and questioning her, if you want to be any help at all, you're going to
have to stand behind her choice." |

bellantoni (ER, Law & Order)
-- "(My favorite scene) was the moment shared between Drew and Angela in
the courtroom, after Drew says her baby died. That intimate moment shared
with Angela just holding her and trying to comfort her, the vulnerability
in both of them was so unexpected and spontaneous. I have to say that was
not my favorite scene at first but as soon as we did the work there was
no question, it was definitely a moment I will never forget." |

"What
do you want to talk about, the weather? It's a beautiful day. There's a
cumulo--whatever coming out of the Northeast. Meanwhile, in a few minutes..." |

lavoisier (One Life to Live) --
"In preparing for the role of matt daniels, I first talked to my mother
who has been a nurse her entire life to get some behind the scenes info...the
actual medical procedures, the drama patients go through personally, financial
issues, confidentiality...then i went to four different abortion clinics
to observe the behavior that goes on. Out of the four clinics, I probably
sat for about 15 to 20 hours total." |

"I
gotta ask you something...well, what I'm wondering is...do you ever think
about your baby -- I mean -- what he or she would look like now...or how
they'd laugh..." |

penna -- "I went through a lot
personally in making the film -- I was never in touch with it before --
and I'm glad I did." |

"Ms.
Johnson, was there anyone else there?"
"Well,
I'm getting to that...Her Boo, I mean her boyfriend, was kneeling over
her. And about this same time I saw another man running in the opposite
direction." |
| anna
george -- "I would tell (people)
to see the film, not simply because of the message, but to (better) understand
the issue, and why it is a complicated one, involving actual people and
actual ramifications." |
