Quote:
"Final preparations are being made for the second shoot [for The Far Shore] up north. I've come to talk with [Judy] Steed [...]. I ask about Joyce [Wieland]. Steed tells me she is at a farm with Celine [Lomez] and Frank [Moore] [...] rehearsing for the shoot. She then gets to the heart of the matter. 'Joyce,' she explains, 'is incredible, her discipline beyond belief. Each detail does not escape her notice. She has that rare ability, before making decisions, to seek out every possible alternative, withhold her decision, and take the necessary time and care until she finally reaches the best possible answer.'"
