It's pronounced Ay-Vree. But there's a bit of a tale behind Avri's middle name, Roel, which is derived from her grandparents' names. The first two letters of Roel are for The Judge (2014) and Iron Man 2 (2010) star's father, Robert Downey Sr., and his wife, Rosemary. They also are a shout-out to producer Susan's mom, Rosie. The last two letters are for the actor's mother, Elsie, and Susan's father, Eliot Levin.

- If there was no Hollywood, no next movie, no deal at Warner Brothers, no place in Malibu or Venice, I would still be really happy.
- I was very focused, driven, rigid, work-oriented. I didn't care about having a family or making a home. I didn't think about kids. It's not that I didn't want those things; I just didn't think about them.
- I was never a girl who thought about getting married. Being in a relationship wasn't my priority.
- I have no idea why, and this is others' observations of me - I tend to be in the realm of these very complicated personalities. I guess I enjoy corralling that.
- As a producer, you're there from the inception of the concept to the delivery of it. It just takes so much energy.
