ALLISON ANDERS: I had a friend who was one of the most brilliant actresses, Katrin Cartlidge. She was in a lot of Mike Leigh movies, she was in Breaking the Waves. She rejected me for Things Behind the Sun. I wanted her to play my lead character, and she turned me down. She was notorious for turning people down, because she was not careerist. She completely went with, “What character needs me to bring it to life?” And she told me, “Allison, this character doesn’t need me, but I’m gonna tell you exactly who you need to look for, what qualities this person needs to have.” And I found Kim Dickens, based on the stuff that Katrin told me. Sadly, Katrin passed away a couple of years ago, but she was amazing. Whatever character called to her—feature, big money, little money—it didn’t matter. And so I really take that same attitude. She really taught me that. I feel like there are stories that need me to tell them.
