Wendkos on Writing with Specific Actors in Mind: “I did in this case because when I came to it Hilary Duff was already attached. I studied everything that she’d done for television or film. I developed this empathy for how she phrased things and then I wrote toward that kind of syntax, I guess you call it. And you know I got comfortable with her rhythm and I wrote towards that. And then discovering of course that she’s a physical comedienne and I would lend the character to that.”
Gina Wendkos on Her Definition of the Perfect Man: “The perfect man is one that knows all of your flaws and finds a way to think they’re charming.”
Michael McQuown on What Interested Him in “The Perfect Man:” “I knew the concept was that strong. Heather [Robinson] had told me about it. It stuck in my mind for a couple of years and literally I was ready to give up on Hollywood and I said, ‘Well, you know what? This will be the last thing I write. This doesn’t sell, then that’s it.’ I wrote it, sold it, and it was shot – all within a year.”
McQuown on Future Projects: McQuown’s interested in directing and he's just finishing up editing his independent film, “Digit X.” McQuown says his dream project is "Millennium Walker," a $100 million concept that’s generating some interest. “You know, the Wachowski brothers did their low budget and then went on to do ‘The Matrix.’ I hope to follow a career path like that.”
