There's some nastiness that goes on." — Thomas Haden Church

It was like everything that supported the relationship was coming from the outside. Judging by all the signs, we were a perfectly successful couple and John was an ideal husband for me - rich, blond, tall, sensitive, ad nauseam. But even worse, it seemed as if our most intimate conversations were based on what we were supposed to be saying, and what we were supposed to be. Nothing seemed to come directly from us. — Mary Gaitskill
I don't want comedy to be Bridesmaids 2. I'm not denigrating Bridesmaids but, enough already, let's stop pretending women are incalculably different to us.

I'm a drunk. But people really like that. — Greg Proops
The intimate conversations have its moments, because you have to sell the characters, because there is so much going on.

It's been great working with Bryan and the writers to find where we're going and what's the story. Yeah, it's been really, really interesting. — Eleanor Tomlinson
In personal conversations between director and actor, the male directors that I've worked with are just as emotional.

Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate.

Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three. — Simone Weil
Is so interesting, is that when you're blindfolded and you're talking to somebody the conversation goes to places that it would never go if you could see the other person's reaction. You start talking about very intimate things. It's such an interesting experience. — Fernando Meirelles

From that moment, my interest in their remarkable friendship was captivated, and it never really waned. — Jennifer Chiaverini
The advent of the mobile phone was a disaster. We are forced to listen, open-mouthed, to other people's intimate conversations.
