On Philadelphia: “Of all the movies, 50 or 60 movies and TV shows, I've done, when people ask me my favorite movie experience, I say Kimberly, which I filmed here for six weeks in the autumn of '97, '98, something like that. We lived in the Korman Suites and shopped at the Whole Foods around the corner. We filmed around the boathouses, where I learned how to row. In the movie four guys fall in love with the same woman, Gabrielle Anwar. She gets pregnant and they all think they're the father. Making the movie just felt like the most easy, comfortable, beautiful experience. Philadelphia is rich with American tradition, in a kind of remote, elevated space in my mind. Rowing was always this Ivy League thing I never thought I'd be able to participate in, so it broke down a lot of self-imposed barriers about life. I'd live here in a second-in a heartbeat.”
