    I believe in love at first sight, But I also believe in evolution. Love at first sight is real love, but it's an infant love. As love matures, we meet again and again, and discover new parts of our partners for the first time. I'd like to think that Rosalind and Orlando will cycle back to meet each other for the rest of their lives.

    If I could mimic the dynamic of any Shakespearean marriage, I’d choose to mimic the Macbeths – before the murder, ruthless ambition, and torturous descents into madness and death, that is.
