I feel with this film that as long as we tell Philomena's story and as long as we're true to her, which Jeff and Steve have already done by writing the story... we must not sell her short;. She's a most remarkable woman and all my concern was that we must be absolutely true to her story.

Never fall out of love with life

I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.

People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I am so thrilled to be nominated for something I loved working on every single day.

We get up in the morning. We do our best. Nothing else matters.

The theater is the thing I love doing most.
