I really liked falling in love with cities that I had actively disliked before.
Being seduced by a man on crutches was an interesting experience.

If you don't expect to like someone and then you do, that's an incredibly exciting moment.
Great. Just great. One glimpse of his body and I have a full-blown crush. I honestly thought I was a bit deeper than that.

Loving a film is like falling in love with a woman or with a man like you never expect it. It it's not the one you think you will be in love with, you know. You think always that he will be with a beard, and black, and big and finally he's Chinese and you know it's the same thing.
