Abigail Breslin is Nim

It's all a bit surreal! I watched Little Miss Sunshine on the plane to LA in December - purely because my daughter had loved it ... and now I'm able to say that Abigail Breslin is going to play Nim in the film. She's a wonderful actor; I loved the film, and I loved her in it. I'm so glad I saw it and thought that before I heard that she was interested in being Nim.

Of course I haven't forgotten that there are lots of other Nim fans who'd have loved to be Nim too. I've talked about dreams before – if you're ever going to do things, you have to dream them first. Some of them won't come true, but the more you dream of different things you can do, the more ways you'll have of looking at the world, and in the end, you'll find your way to where you want to go. Maybe it won't be the first place you thought of, but you've got to give it a try to see where you end up.
