The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

An excerpt from Ethan Aames's interview with Anne Hathaway on Brokeback Mountain:

Q:  What do you think will happen to the world at large if this film gets an Oscar nomination?

ANNE:  I think it’s a huge step forward. More important than the Oscar nomination is that more people will see the film. What I think is going to be a huge indicator of the effect the film made is the DVD sales because what a lot of people won’t support publicly, they will definitely want to check out privately. The Oscars would be great, but for Hollywood to reward this sort of thing is not that far a leap. What I think will make a difference is the viewership of the film. I don’t care how people see it, whether in theaters or in their own homes. I just want people to give it a chance because the thing that I’m most proud of in the film and the thing it accomplishes the best is that it portrays a gay relationship without using any stereotypes. At last, gay people are reflected as human beings.

Beautiful Anne Hathaway is best known for her family-oriented roles in "The Princess Diaries" and "Ella Enchanted." But the Brooklyn-born actress has diversified her resume immensely this year with her roles in "Havoc" and the movie that is on the tip of everyone's tongues nowadays, "Brokeback Mountain."

An excerpt from Christina M. Hinke's interview with Anne Hathaway.
 
Q: What experiences did you take from making that film (Brokeback Mountain)?

AH: It really taught me the importance of trusting your environment. Obviously Ang Lee knows more than me. It's OK. I understand that and have accepted that. And I really trusted him and trusted the producers, because he had worked with them, I've seen their work. It showed me really the importance of trusting the work that people do around you. I can be a bit of a control freak, particularly with my characters and that was kind of this amazing experience where I came in and as opposed to maybe pouncing on everyone and saying no I think the character is this way and this way and this way. I listened to what everyone had to say first and found out that actually our instincts were often the same and we could actually enrich each others understanding of the character by collaborating.

As Ennis listened to Lureen describe Jack's accidental death, he sensed that what she was telling him was untrue.
