Michael, here are a few quotes from Anthony Hopkins regarding this film: "I think this is what the spirit of this film is about - the great passion of life that some people have." "Burt is the sort of character I've never played before - upbeat. Not like some of those other guys. Most of the parts I have played are troubled, tortured, lonely souls - and I'm not like that at all." "This is the best thing I've done...the best experience I've had."
