00:02:03 87	Sound Bite: Scott Steindorff Well, Reese is really intelligent, and really bright and very organized. Christina is very sweet, she has a really sweet energy. Catherine O’Hara is really funny, which is very attractive, so they all have some quality, some qualities that are very attractive.
00:02:31 115	Sound Bite: Scott Steindorff No, she brought the project to me. I mean Reese and her partner Jennifer Simpson brought me the script, and said do you wanna do a movie about a girl with a pig nose, and I said probably not, but I read the script and it was fantastic and I fell in love with it, it was really good.
00:02:54 138	Sound Bite: Scott Steindorff Simon Woods talking to a reporter and some angled shots of him, Scott Steindorff getting interviewed by reporters

00:08:22 466	Sound Bite: Simon Woods Okay, um wearing it with pride, um very excited, I’m going to Texas tomorrow to do some campaigning for Senator Clinton. I think um, just couldn’t be more proud to be supporting someone like that, I think the next president is going to face a big pile of problems when they inherit that office, and I think she’s the one person who I trust to just get them all fixed. And you know what we say in England, that when America sneezes, England catches a cold. So it’s really important to us in ?, so I just uh, I mean it’s by and by her ability to make hope and change a reality.
00:09:05 509	Sound Bite: Simon Woods Oh, now you’re asking me to be more intelligent than I’m capable of this evening. Um, inner beauty is probably just about respecting people, respecting yourself, learning to value what is important in people and not what society teaches us we ought to value.
00:09:28 532	Sound Bite: Simon Woods You know, I think what this film does is to say to you, that’s not the thing that defines you. Says you may have something that you feel is a nightmare, or you may have some great insecurity, but in the end, that’s not what defines you, and what matters is that you can find a way to love yourself, and then other people who love you back.
00:09:53 557	Sound Bite: Simon Woods – his shoes Yves St. Laurent.
00:10:08 572	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – Another shot of the Hillary button and zoom out to show its Woods, Witherspoon talking to reporters
00:11:16 640	Sound Bite: Reese Witherspoon …just learning to define what’s different about yourself as an attribute, as one of your sort of, the wonderful parts of your personality or the wonderful parts of the way you look, you know and learning those things can define you in a good way.
00:11:33 657	Sound Bite: Reese Witherspoon Oh very carefully. Just as a delicate balance between making deals, and showing up and acting. No it was good, it was all fun.
00:11:51 675	Sound Bite: Reese Witherspoon Inner beauty, well, I don’t know, I mean I, you know, I talk to my kids all the time about what’s really important, and it’s not what’s on the outside, it’s how you treat people. How you treat people is a big part of inner beauty, you know. How people perceive you, how you see them. And a general attitude of just being positive, understanding life is good and we’re all very lucky, very blessed. (talks) I’m gonna go hack and cough for a second.
00:12:55 739	Sound Bite: Leslie Caveny & Jennifer Simpson Caveny – Well, talking about this town in particular, I moved to Hollywood as a fairly insecure female pursuing an acting career. Big mistake, so talk about it being thrown in your face—we were expecting you to be more this, more that—and after awhile I kinda became paralyzed. There were times when I couldn’t even unclench my jaw where you no, so, this really is about, like let’s get back to our lives please, let’s get back to what’s important, and who we are, and our spirit, and livin.
00:13:31 775	Sound Bite: Leslie Caveny & Jennifer Simpson Caveny – Well there’s uh folklore out there in the world of pig faced ladies who have existed through the ages. And they suffer. So I wanted to find a way to take that suffering and find a happy ending that wasn’t dependent on a falsehood. So to try to make the happiness come from what we have power over.
00:13:53 797	Sound Bite: Leslie Caveny & Jennifer Simpson Simpson – it’s wonderful. Um you know we’re so excited for this movie, and she’s amazing producer with all her years of experience, she knew, you know she had great instincts. As soon as we read the script, she knew it was something she needed to do, and she was amazing, she was wonderful
00:14:09 813	Sound Bite: Leslie Caveny & Jennifer Simpson Simpson – I mean she’s beautiful. She’s a wonderful actress, I can’t imagine many actress out there who had been willing to put on a pig nose, and she did gracefully, she looked beautiful, you don’t even notice it after awhile, uh she’s wonderful, absolute wonderful.
00:14:44 848	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – Caveny and Simpson being interviewed by reporter, Sissy Spacek, Amanda Bynes, Sissy Spacek and Reese Witherspoon, more Sissy Spacek, Schuyler Fisk being interviewed by reporters
00:17:51 1035	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – Amanda Bynes, wide of the premiere, from chandelier to premiere, Christina Ricci talking to reporters, James McAvoy talking to reporters
00:20:11 1175	Sound Bite: Schuyler Fisk Well, you know, once I saw the film, I just, I couldn’t wait to write a song for it, because it just, I was excited of the message that I got to help you know show or portray (talks) Well it’s just about, you know, loving yourself and, I guess that’s not what the song’s about, it’s just about how we’re all different, and it’s really what’s on the inside that matters, and, yeah.
00:20:56 1221	Sound Bite: Schuyler Fisk Oh man, I think just being a good person and trying to be kind to people, and living by the golden rule. Yeah, that’s kinda what I…
00:21:13 1237	Sound Bite: Schuyler Fisk Oh definitely, definitely, I mean the cool thing about this film is that the one thing that this girl Penelope is most ashamed of is the one thing that people kind of embrace about her and love her for, and she kind of realizes that, and yeah, so it’s our little flaws and uniquenesses that make us who we are and make us interesting I think.
00:21:38 1262	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – James McAvoy talking to reporters, Christina Ricci talking to reporters, Ricci and McAvoy talking to reporters
00:24:30 1434	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – Ricci’s necklace and other jewelry, Ricci just getting interviewed
00:26:04 1528	Sound Bite: Christina Ricci Well we did about 4 makeup tests, and uh the first one was really over the top and hideous, so then we sort of slowly got more towards a cuter version, and we ended up somewhere in the middle. Um but you know, I just, I remember becoming very used to it very quickly.
00:26:24 1548	Sound Bite: Christina Ricci No, they had a different for every day, and apparently they’re all very expensive. I kinda didn’t really want one after an entire shoot of wearing one every day.
00:26:37 1561	Sound Bite: Christina Ricci Uh well the movie’s really about accepting yourself and knowing who you are and loving yourself, and you know being your own best friend, and not not sort of indulging in other people’s criticisms and insecurities.
00:27:02 1586	Sound Bite: Christina Ricci Well, that’s the thing, I think inner beauty is all about how you see yourself, and what you value as a person, and so really your inner beauty is is dependent on what you actually think is beautiful, so I couldn’t tell you what inner beauty is because your own inner beauty is probably very different than mine.
00:27:31 1615	Sound Bite: James McAvoy Uh my role in the film, uh I play in Penelope a guy who has been hired to take sort of like paparazzi photographs from the inside stealthily undercover. And uh he’s a gambling addicting, and he basically hates himself. And then through meeting this woman who’s got a pig’s nose, instead of a human’s nose, he falls in love with her, and through falling in love with her, falls in love with himself. And the world at large, and then discovers that the world can be a beautiful place covered in flowers, and um and that, I think that’s my character.
00:28:14 1658	Sound Bite: James McAvoy Easy, so cool, I love the experience of working with prosthetic noses.
00:28:23 1667	Sound Bite: James McAvoy Oooh, uh, hmm, definition of inner beauty, um uh I don’t know mate, understanding, respect for others, respect for yourself, just balance and understanding I think.
00:28:42 1686	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – James McAvoy talking to reporters, some angled shots of McAvoy, Mark Palansky talking to reporters, Catherine O’Hara
00:30:30 1794	Sound Bite: Mark Palansky Uh, well um, you know making pig’s snout film is a bit complicated, so maybe I’ll steer away from that next time, but uh, goats, you know sheep, anything, anything along that line, but I’ll stay away from pig’s snout things, just along the path, no but that you know it was I learned how vital the actors are and how important they are and how wonderful they are, and just to kind of to really kind of shepherd that and work with that, it’s exciting.
00:30:56 1821	Sound Bite: Mark Palansky Uh yeah, I hope so, well we can always be the first, you know, except for the Twilight Zone episode, but that doesn’t count cause it was on television, so.
00:31:12 1836	Sound Bite: Mark Palansky Oscar talent, and James McAvoy Oscar talent, yeah. Well the pressure, um you know uh (talks) you know you don’t realize that pressure. In fact when we were filming, Reese had just won her Academy Award um 3 days before, and uh, and I it didn’t kind of hit me until the paparazzi swarmed, and that whole thing, but at that point, you’re in the middle of thinking about directing a film, and directing a film and all that, and so it’s kind of a separate entity, you know it’s only afterwards that you look back and, holy, oh my God, you know, it’s crazy, but um in the midst of it there’s so many things to think about and worry about and care about, that all of those kind of take precedent, you know.
00:32:01 1885	Sound Bite: Mark Palansky I’m sure, I mean it did, yes. I kind of made a conscious effort to not think about tabloid aspect or any of that, I just felt like that will speak on its own. I was searching for the bigger issues, the more human issues, what we all deal with on a daily basis, rather than the kind of, you know the celebrity and the tabloids and all that, it’s transing, it’s passing, it comes it goes, whatever it is, flavor of the week, every day, and I wanted to make a film that kind of hopefully will stand the test of time, you know you look back in 20 years and go ah, it still looks and feels wonderful, and um so it was much more thinking about that, you know.
00:32:45 1929	Sound Bite: Mark Palansky Oh my gosh, you know what, they all actually are very, they’re really beautiful in different ways. Catherine, Christina, and Reese. I mean, Catherine is like brilliant, you know, she’s brilliant, I mean she really is, she’s kind of a genius at what she does and was an absolute pleasure, and Christina is strong, and um exudes that kind of strength and passion, and Reese is um, she’s just kind of, the way that she handles herself and her professionalism and her dignity and her integrity, it’s kind of just um, it’s you know it’s a bit kind of myth-like about how you know how she acts, you know you’re just kind of like, come on, not everyone can be that great and that perfect, but you know she sort of pulls it off, and she’s always, never cracked under pressure or anything, so they all actually were very different, um it’s the first time I thought about that, but I’m glad you brought it up.
00:33:37 1981	B-Roll – Penelope Premiere – Mark Palansky talking to a reporter with some angled shots
00:34:37 2041	Sound Bite: Catherine O’Hara Well she’s such a good bull artist. She is. She accepted in spite of me. She allowed me to be her mother for a couple of months. She’s lovely, she’s so cool. I actually worked with her in Ireland. I’ve only worked with her in Europe, because we did something in London, and I worked with her in Ireland about ten years ago at least. Yeah, she was about 14 or something. I worked with her in Ireland, she um, in a movie called Last of the High Kings, then got renamed to Summer Fling so no one would ever rent it. Um and she was cool then, and she’s still cool, she’s just so uh beating to her own drum, and yet the rest of us follow.
