QUOTES:
“I think there's a lot of conversation happening now for women, by women, with women, which is incredible. Yet, I feel the opportunity to explore female psychology deeply isn't always prevalent in Hollywood, and so Three Women felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dive in and explore themes that are not abnormal, things that most of us go through as women.” Shailene Woodley
