From my subjective position, there was no honeymoon.

Honeymoon lasts not nowadays above a fortnight.

It was just that we had this phenomenal honeymoon relationship that just kept on going.

If people are going to watch TV, let's give them something coherent with actual dialogue.

Over the last half century the television interview has given us some of TV's most heart-stopping and memorable moments. On the surface it is a simple format - two people sitting across from one another having a conversation. But underneath it is often a power struggle - a battle for the psychological advantage.

I wanted to write about this tropical honeymoon in part because I had the most drastically terrible honeymoon.

I think, through comedy, sometimes we're allowed to discuss things that you'd never be able to talk about in a drama.

I don't remember a drama on TV that had shown a couple could be married but still love each other very much, spend every day as if they were still on their honeymoon, be sensuous, and have fun together.

You never want to make a 'message movie', but you always want to be talking about something that you care about.

That honeymoon phase is so much fun in real life, when you meet and discover somebody new and fall in love and chase them. The pursuit. And that climactic final moment of ultimate togetherness.
