But what I think is really special about this character, he is sexy on the outside, but there’s underneath that he’s really having a lot of problems. A lot of movies show a sexy character, someone’s who’s attractive on the outside and they never really go beneath that. You’re just expected to sit there and be attracted to this attractive character and feel inferior sitting there in your seat. This movie is not about that. It’s about where did his callous front come from and what are the consequences of it. Where will it end up?” - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. But that was a lie. Plus, I couldn’t speak anyway. I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn’t. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and tried to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness and fucked up suffering in the world… and it made me want to escape. I wish with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.”
