Sound Bite: Eva Mendes
I you know I was a little apprehensive at first because people were you know you know its the role that Joan Crawford made famous back in 1939 and I knew people weren’t going to be happy with anything I did because you know because it was here role yet I felt a lot better once I realized what movie Diane English was making and she was making a very modern take on the old you know the women. So in modernizing that we changed so much and it’s a, it’s the same character that was written but we really gave her a different spin and we made her not so kind of uh you know bad and evil. We made her a little pathetic and desperate and kind of like you know just wrong you know what I mean, not, yeah she’s just wrong. I don’t necessarily think she’s like a bad girl, I just think she’s uh made bad decisions because she’s desperate, she needs that love, she needs that mad. |

Pretty much, that’s a good way to put it. We all went to Martha’s Vineyard stayed on Diane English’s beautiful home for about four days and you know great idea on Diane English’s part because we really got to have some really true bonding, not like when you meet in rehearsal and you’re going to go shoot the film in a few hours and then you have to, you know what I mean then you have to create this thing, we really had time to sit and swap stories and uhm really share experiences with one another. |

I do love men but its true I have had girlfriends that I’ve had since I was 12 years old and I have newer girlfriends that I have met in the business but I honestly, there’s nothing like, I couldn’t be where I am without them, that’s, they’re my sounding board, they’re my my you know my safety and my sisters, I have two sisters and my mom, all these females in my life that really mean so much to me. I couldn’t do anything without them. |

Sound Bite: Eva Mendes
Yeah I uhm, it wasn’t that different as far as on set because there were still men around they just weren’t in the movie so you know you have the cameramen you have all kind of, thank god we had men around, they just didn’t make it in front of the camera. They were there behind the cameras. |

Sound Bite: Eva Mendes
Oh gosh I just applaud her for sticking with something, its been 14 years she’s stuck with it and uhm I just applaud her for that and that was a big part of me doing the film is working with these woman and supporting Diane because unfortunately we don’t have a lot of female directors out there and I wanted to support her and really make sure that this happened for her because its pretty unbelievable to stick to something that long and really follow it through and make it happen. |
