And there's something about it that scares people. I don't think it's just me. It might come from the idea that 'I don't want to stare at this guy,' and it gets to where you don't even acknowledge him.

Eddie? I don't even think about him anymore as a disabled guy. I just think of him as a great character and a funny guy and a good friend. That's how it was with everyone. The barriers broke down.

The hardest thing in the world about making a movie is to satisfactorily end it. We almost always have a couple of different endings in mind, and it's informative to show the audience the different direction you might have gone.
