Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.

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

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...

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

Only humans can hurt one another, Ada thought; only humans falter and betray one another with a stunning, fearsome frequency. As David's family had done to him; as David had done to her. And Ada would do it too. She would fail other people throughout her life, inevitably, even those she loved best.
