"Yes, the marriage proposal was shot. Michael excluded the dialogue from the final edit." ― Madeleine Stowe Topic(s): Best More From Madeleine Stowe "Michael is a funny character, for whom I have a great deal of affection. He sat across his desk and seemed to be a bit of a blunt fellow. We began talking about the characters and he opened up about his vision." "I remember nearly having a fit of the giggles during the reading because dear Daniel was SO respectful and serious and I was finding the whole situation funny because I was speaking to his profile." "I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue, once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone’s eyes. Maurice loved what he did, so. He treated his character with respect, down to the costuming." More In Best "I don’t want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He’s a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach."― Jimmy Carter "Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill."― William Butler Yeats "A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in."― H. L. Mencken
