?I think that it was such an overwhelmingly positive, memorable experience for me because it was my first leading role, and it was the first film I worked on away from home,? she said. ?We shot it in Wilmington, North Carolina, and it was the first time I?d ever had that kind of camp-like experience where you come home and cry when it?s over and you?re determined to keep in touch with everyone. It just gives me an all-encompassing warm feeling inside.?
She added, ?There are very few times in your career when the memories and the relationship you have to a project match the relationship that an audience has to the project ? but this movie is as special to me as it seems to be to people out there in the world. I mean that?s the reason that 15 years later we?re still talking about it.?
