The person who knows you the best is the person who can hurt you the most. And also the person who can help you the most when you’re hurt. And it’s the risk of loving.
* Director Curtis Hanson
- Who hasn’t wanted to be in someone else’s shoes?
Who hasn’t looked at someone else’s life and said, “Why can’t I have some of those advantages?” it’s so human.
- The shoes are a symbol of the differences between the two sisters.
- Just the snap of a finger, things changes.
- I think they’re characters who are doing what we’re all doing, which is looking at who we are and complaining that with who we want to be and going “Where I am in my life? Where could I like to be? What can I do?” and trying to figure it out. You know, it’s the struggle, and it’s a never-ending struggle. That’s the beauty of it, I mean, the only way its not a struggle is if like Ella at the beginning of the movie, so looked into things out of fear, we don’t want anything to shake us up and we don’t want to look around. But characters that are looking around are alive. There’s heartache and there’s a laughter and it’s like life. There’s everything.
* Actor Mark Feuerstein (Simon-Rose's husband in the movie)
It’s a metaphor for that grass always being greener… and I think you realize by the end of the movie, you know what, it’s just the grass we have, and we got to live on it.
* Producer Deuce Three
It’s also about the being in our own shoes. And learning to be in our own shoes is that part of self-discovery and self-realization.
