"I look at you and see all the ways a soul can bruise, and I wish I could sink my hands into your flesh and light lanterns along your spine so you know that there’s nothing but light when I see you"
"I know. I know that I shall never again meet anything or anybody who will inspire me with passion. You know, it’s quite a job starting to like somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don’t do it. I know I’ll never jump again."
"On the fifth day, which was a Sunday, it rained very hard. I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty."
It was a foretelling of how a boy, who wants desperately to have a father who will protect him, finally realizes that father exists in himself. To put that together, as Jimmy had to have done, and realize that he could create that nugget at the beginning that would let the audience know what this movie was about without explaining it to them was some of the most elegant screen writing I have ever come across. And you’re really grateful when a director or actor can find those things. - Stewart Stern, screenwriter
