Sound Bite: Siobhan F. Hogan – what do you think makes the characters so loveable?
I think that um it’s a mixture and I think that they have um more traditional values and so they look at you know when Renee’s character Lucy comes to town to down size our cheese factory we don’t think along that way we think let’s make it work we don’t’ give up and we don’t get rid of peoples jobs to save money we keep their jobs and we’ll take cut backs in other places and my character, which I loved so much being a big fat catholic, um was that I talk about Jesus throughout the film and not in a mocking way, not in a disrespecting way so it’s so nice and I think that my character and these people really look for the good in people. I mean they are defiantly judging her when she first gets there they are going to make it rough for her but they are willing to take her in and love her if she if she loves them.

Sound Bite: Siobhan F. Hogan – talk about the accent
Um no. I have a funny accent anyway it’s a flat accent and I went to a vocal coach Liz Himelstien who’s a great vocal coach and she said Siobhan you got to think about the Swedish how the Swedes speak because they settled in Minnesota and there’s a really singsongy cadence and then you’ve got to think about your mouth being a little closed because they are so cold that they don’t want to open their mouth and. (talking) That’s what she told me, hey listen I’d buy it, like um so anyway that’s and so you listen to people, oh I called some people out there that she gave me phone numbers of and talked to them and then once you hear it and then the guy who played my husband Harvard it he and I would talk in the accent all the time which I really hate that when actors do that, oh shut that up just wait till we get to the set, but um but I became one of those people so judge not let ye be judged.
