...Creation is based on a book called Annie's Box (published in the U.S. as Darwin, His Daughter and Human Evolution), written by one of Darwin's descendants, Randal Keynes, and inspired by a box of keepsakes from Annie's short life, items carefully set aside by her parents, which Keynes found in the family archives. Darwin and his wife Emma (played by Jennifer Connelly, Bettany's offscreen wife) had 10 children in all.

...Belmont, Mass., or Needham, and you're watching the unions get their deal and Nebraska get its deal and everybody else get their deals. What would you say to that person, who probably voted for you because you promised change and - I was just reading David Plouffe's book [The Audacity to Win] - the emphasis on going after the special interests? But you've made deals with all the special interests to get this done. Well, I'll tell you what, Joe. What I would say is, If you look at this bill when it is said and done...
