“I would love people to be inspired and to understand that creativity is woven into everyday life and to just go for it because it makes your life so much richer.” – Jill D’Agnenica
“Being authentic at whatever it is that is authentic for you and letting your children be authentic is a huge step toward everything. There is also also a big message in the movie about family and the joy that we all have in our lives. If you don’t live your life wishing that you are doing something else then you can live a life very simply and that’s glorious.” – Maggie Baird
“As a teenager, if you are going through a tough time or if you are depressed or you are unhappy … go and discover new things. If you are not feeling fulfilled … then just experiment and follow new things. [My character] comes out of his shell because he follows his mom into a world that she loves and he discovers that it is what he loves, too, and is what he has been searching for.” – Finneas O’Connell
