“To me, the supervillain of the story isn’t the person committing the violence, it’s the organization

that allows it to exist, turns a blind eye to it, and medicine for profit,” - Jessica Chastain.

“The question we are interested in is why wasn’t [Cullen] stopped? What was it in the American

hospital system that made this go on for years and allowed him to go above 400 victims

without being stopped? Why was it a single mom, with heart disease, and an ICU nurse,

that is responsible for stopping him? Why wasn’t the system able to?” - Tobias Lindholm

"Amy talked about her love for this man and how kind and gentle and self-deprecating and

the fact that he saves her life,” he said. “She met this other human being twice. She describes

how his eyes glazed over and he was a different human being. She describes it as dissociative.

That was a revelation for us because it meant that we could tell this story truthfully. It was

about a friendship, and I suppose in some ways a love story.” - Eddie Redmayne
