Whatever happened to The Kids Are Alright: The TV Series? Out filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko told Deadline:
“I mean, I knew it would be a great show. I was very eager to see it kind of go on. I loved it and I had been with it for so long, and then at the same time I was sort of yearning to kind of do something else after having to deal with it for so long. So, I wrote a draft that I really loved and showed it to Annette Bening who really loved it, but was committed to other things and wasn’t sure she could commit to a long series. It was a funny time. Mark Ruffalo was doing a big action movie, I think. He had just come off of getting an Oscar nomination so I knew that he was completely consumed for a couple years. I just sort of had this feeling of, it’s not the right time, but let’s circle back to this. Let’s not let go. … Who knows, you know? Maybe it’s them. Maybe it’s somebody else. Maybe it’s a whole new show.”

“I have so much I have not revealed. My girlfriend and I talk all the time about how it’s funny that people think they know everything about me. And there are some cards I’m holding close to my chest. But when I lost everything, essentially, in 2012, it kind of…when you have nothing left to lose it just takes a lot of that away, the holding close and holding tightly to things. But I think there’s a time and place to share, and there’s ways to do it, and we’ll see.”

“My opinion is my opinion, and I’m not trying to pretend like repping every single group that you might label me under because I might not have the same views. Hopefully [The View] will help people that are watching me over the years grow up with me in a real-time type of fashion.”
