PS: What was the biggest lesson that you learned from filming the movie, something that you will take with you for the rest of your life?
ER: That's a great question. What I took away from the filming, or from the entire experience, was the idea of the value of time; when you are given the sentence that Stephen was and suddenly everything is put into perspective about how short of time we have and how to make the most of every single minute of every single day — how to live forward and live positively. Of course in all of our lives, you get caught up in the daily foils of it, and of course I'm a massive culprit of that. But I try to keep reminding myself that we are lucky enough not to have that sentence over our head and to make sure that you are living fully. [Hawking] has been given that set of limitations, yet has refused to let that compromise his life.
