Q: What is the movie’s important theme?

Q: How would you describe the movie?
Paez: “Powerful, emotional … Motherly.”
Lopez: “Emotional, action packed.”
Caro: “Badass, because she (the title character) is and mothers are.”
Hardwick: “It’s a movie of heart … It really is ‘The Mother’ for a reason, cause mommas bring a different thing to life.”
Q: What are the challenges of directing an motion movie?
Caro: “There are many challenges but it’s also tremendously fun for me. I love telling stories that way and on that scale. I love emotion through action, which this movie does.”
Q: Jennifer, what did you study from Lucy?
Lopez: “Whenever you work with somebody like (Paez) who’s talented and young, you remember to enjoy and … how exciting it is … I always feel like I’m pretty grateful … but you just can’t help kind of fall into the routine of like ‘oh, I got to get up another day, I got to do this’ and when you have somebody on the set who’s so exuberant every single day and so excited to be there, it’s like ‘yeah, let’s do it’ … It reminds you how lucky you are.”
