Without In The Company Of Men, I

I'm More Than Open To Hope, But I Think Men And Women Have A Difficult Time Dealing With Each Other And Often Take The Low Road.

I Think Christine And Chad Are On The Opposite Extremes Of The Spectrum. Christine Is A Model Victim, And Chad Is A Model Perpetrator, And Howard Is Closer To The Middle.

I Was Always Looking For The Most Dramatic Emphasis. One Example Would Be The Letter Writing, Or The Reading Of The Letters. If You Remember From The Book, They Find The Letters And Then In The Most Undramatic Way They Take Them Downstairs, They Get Approval, They Sit At A Table During The Day With Their Own Author, Across From Each Other.

I Was Very Careful To Cast Guys Who Were Very Good-looking And Very Fit And Who Had A Certain Sense Of Privilege About Them, Because With That Sense Of Privilege Comes Contempt.

It's Funny How That Comes Up, Because Sometimes I'll Write Something And I'll Think, I Don't Know If That's A Film Or A Play, And Then Other Things I Feel Very Strongly About Them Just Being Plays - They Feel Very Theatrical To Me.
