Bridge to terabithia co-worker praise
"My mother and I can take a lot of credit, but the kids.. the two kids. Well 3, absolutely! These children uhm, after seeing the first couple of days I'm like "I hope the adults can keep up" because these kids were so brilliant! I was afraid that the adults would be left behind with how wonderful they were and again the success of what you saw up there [referring to The movie 'Bridge to Terabithia'], a good deal of it goes to the children. And again, they weren't doing children things, they were basically adults just trapped within the souls of 11 and 10 year olds and they got it, they got it."-David Paterson (Author of the book's son)
I am pretty sure that AnnaSophia Robb is more mature than I am. Yes! She is terrific, stupendous and adorable!
-Zooey Deschanel (Actress)
The Reaping co-worker praise
"Isn't [Annasophia] sweet? She's so sweet. And she loves her job and she has great parents, and we had a lot of fun. This movie was really just fun to film. We all enjoyed being together, we all enjoyed being in the South, we all enjoyed the gumbo and the pecan pies and the Southern hospitality. And we had a great time on set and off, you know? It was great to hang out with her and her parents. And there was this one little place in this small town we were filming, where I would see her on our day off, and we'd both be eating our waffles. And it was like the only place you could go to eat. And I had a little farmhouse when I was there. I mean, it was a great time all around."-Hilary Swank (Actress)
"You know, I didn't want to sound preachy or like I was trying to teach her something. But I definitely would just say, "Remember to believe in yourself and to do what you love and trust yourself." And that sort of thing. You know, she's pretty solid, and she has solid parents. So she's definitely on that right path."
-Hilary Swank (Actress)
Because of Winn-Dixie co-worker praise
"She's just fun to be around and she's very open and precious. She's got a girlie quality to her that was fun to play with. So I think that she did a good job and also, she made me, along with everyone else, she made me want to do well because she deserves everything that she can get out of this. So she brought out qualities in me that I liked, all the kids too."-Dave Mathews (Actor/Musician)
"My proof of it is that if you've ever seen those books, there's a book of Gnomes, and there's a book of Giants, and there's a book of Fairies, not modern New York or California fairies, this is the old fashioned English countryside fairies, the kind that Peter Pan ran into, and that's what I was thinking about because of the wings. That's what I was thinking for 'Butterfly.' And AnnaSophia looks exactly like that. So when I first met her, she was underneath a bar in a restaurant, and that sounds bad, but we had rented out this whole restaurant. And I looked under there and I thought, “Wow.” She's grown a lot since then, quite a bit. But I thought, “Wow, that's sort of weird how much she looks like that.”
-Dave Mathews (Actor/Musician)
"First of all, AnnaSophia was - it's her first film, I think, and she was a little pro, which was a bonus. You never really expect whether she'll even know lines, whether after two hours of the day, she's tired and wants to go home. That never happened over the three and a half months or whatever we shot. So that's a bonus. But you're just ready for anything, what they may or may not know as far as experience or the craft. You help steer them."
-Jeff Daniels (Actor)
"I knew AnnaSophia was very bright and intuitive. When I asked her to try a lot of different approaches to a scene, she was always happy to jump right into it and explore those new territories. She always came up with fresh and lively ways of playing the scenes. She was afraid of nothing."
-Wane Wang (Director)
"She's interesting. She's a really lovely girl. I felt comfortable with her right away because when I'd written the song 'Butterfly,' really when I wrote it, it was for my children in some ways. But I mean, they were sort of the inspiration because I'd read the book and the script, but I hadn't met AnnaSophia. But at the same time, as I was writing it for my girls or using their personalities or my love for them as inspiration for the song, I was imagining who this girl was that I was meant to be writing the song for. And she looked exactly like Opal."
