![“There have been a few little films I'd done like that that the studio just decided not to do much with, films like Anywhere but Here [1999] or Jeff, Who Lives at Home [2012]. Thank God people find them later and love them. I'm always really drawn to people who have seen these strange little films.” quote by Susan Sarandon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4e9/susan-sarandon-2799_and-love_there-have-been-a-few-little-films-i-d-d_531418.jpg)
