In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

But for me, it feels like a natural extension of what I've been doing: exploring relationships. Here you have two relationships and we can explore how difficult it is for people to be together.

If we put the camera on ourselves, our friends and neighbors, we'll come up with some scary stuff.

I was very careful to cast guys who were very good-looking and very fit and who had a certain sense of privilege about them, because with that sense of privilege comes contempt.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.
