You do feel the injustice and inequities of the world that do fall on the shoulders of these kids. It is impossible to prepare yourself, especially when you're filming a movie about kids.

The shock and the disappointment that the parents were feeling, we were feeling right along with them almost in real time, that is one of the reasons that scene is so meaningful for people.

I had never experienced it before in my life, and it was actually really shocking. It's really unacceptable, it's a total disaster.

The world is an enormous injustice.

The whole idea is to make it something that is appealing to all ages. The kids sometimes know more about the music than the musicians. Some of (the songs) are cartoon themes.

We want to make sure these kids aren't held up.
