"Pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day, she would email me and Evan [Goldberg] an email that was pretty similar. It said, 'Hello, I hope you'll consider the following,' and then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene she was in. She really showed that you can be a genius and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape, or form."
"Tell the people as they are laughing, 'That's Catherine O'Hara, and we are lucky we got to live in a world where she so generously shared her talents with us.'"
