I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

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.

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.

It's a comforting thought to know that I've got my partner by my side walking through life and all the ups and the downs. I know we can handle it. There's nothing too big or too crazy that's going to tear us apart.

I think most people, no matter what their situation, manage to find joy and comfort in their daily lives. I also think things fall apart.

I think when a couple stays together, it's because of compromises they've both made.

Forcing people together is an enjoyable conflict to watch, but I think it's even more enjoyable if they love each other.

I always notice the dysfunctional dynamic of human relationships because most places where you encounter it, people are trying to pretend it isn't happening.

To me, it's never about the trick. I don't care about how something works. I care about how people feel when they watch it. You know, that - that connection - that emotional connection is true magic.

I think a lot of people are with the one they're meant to be with. I see it watching my parents because they've been together for so long and are still very much in love. I'm just sort of in awe of that.
