It took an entire film for me to realize that Virginia Woolf was Nicole Kidman... Anyway, here are the sections that I picked from the director's interview. The interview is great.

"I suppose that at its core it's about the very difficult choices people have to make in order to make their lives possible. So often those choices are put into cliche or a sentimental mode that tries to make it easier for us to have happiness. The cost of that happiness or the cost of the choices are never explored. The cost of the choices that, it seems to me, these incredibly courageous women make, felt very truthful."
I actually saw "The Hours" and "Cast Away" back to back. These two films which dealt with similar themes in a way made me think of what is the price I'm paying to seek a successful life (whatever the "successes" are). I wonder... Well, I guess I'll find out in the future.
Thanks
