Much of what happens in Love Always is really from overheard conversations in the Russian Tea Room. It's an improvisation of the way certain Hollywood agents think and talk to each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I watch a romantic comedy, I feel like they're selling something that doesn't exist. Two beautiful, but extremely unpleasant, people are terrible to each other for an hour, accidentally kiss, then decide to like each other during an extremely vague montage. That isn't how people fall in love.
When you feel a connection, a gut connection, a heart connection, it's a very special thing. What's familiar to everyone is watching people falling in love; it doesn't happen on screen that often. People fall in lust, then they're suddenly together.
The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.
The state of being in love is so inherently preposterous. It usually lends itself to romantic comedy. I think we've all been there.
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
It's always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it's just awkward.
In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes.
You know how in most teenage movies the girl meets the boy, they kiss, they have some type of fallout, then there's an awkward sex scene, and then they're together forever? And they say the perfect things the whole way? That doesn't happen in real life.
You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.
Love is based on imagination.
