“I think the idea of falling in love, I mean, that never gets old for me. I think that its fascinating in one's personal life. And its such an enduring and universal concept because, I mean, who knows how to really integrate someone else fully into their life? Im always fascinated by that balance and who that person is, and even in my own life that balance. And it's always so inspiring, and yet you never stop thinking if that person is there, that somehow you can make it work, either if its something that you're in right now or that youll find that person out there...And that fantasy that someone will come along and unlock all of the doors that are locked inside of you, and that will kind of solve a lot of the issues, solve your problems. I like that fantasy. And I think thats another reason why the stories of Nicholas Sparks are so popular, because thats just so deeply ingrained, at least in my psyche, and [for] a lot of people. I just find that inspiring, you know, that that does happen, that you can open yourself up and be caught and be loved and cared for.”
