When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.

I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life.

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.

I just like that dynamic in relationships in movies where they're kind of lovers as rivals, you know?

I think invariably when you are dealing with relationships, the films really center on that, and the plot is really born out of that. That's the most core part of a relationship: intimacy, I think, whether it's expressed or not.

I have very strong relationships with my actors when I'm shooting. When you love an actor's work, you always feel you have to go further, and you make several films together. One film just gives you time to get acquainted.

Some movies you fall a step behind, and some you stay in the same place, make the same choices. And then sometimes there are people who know more than you but show you, and that's the maximum you can hope for - doing that with someone who says, 'I like you for what you are, and I want you to be in my picture.'

Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.

I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.

People always want the stars of movies to fall in love with one another.
