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 cherish someone means to have the resolve to hurt then

Trying to not hurt others is something you can't do. People are creatures who hurt others just by existing even if they're not aware of it. Whether you're living or dying. you'll always be hurting someone. Once you're involved, you'll hurt someone, and even by not being involved, you might be hurting someone else as well...

We emotionally manipulated each other until we thought it was love.

I don't make romantic films. I make films about human relationships.

You can never say "no, that's impossible" when it comes to human behavior or human relationships.
