"We completely forgot about every other element of the movie, because that was what we started with when we were shooting... Our first day was our by far most intimate scene." - Amber Midthunder
"It was a shock when we got to the bank robbery... Like, 'Who are all these people telling us to punch each other?'" - Jack Quaid
"When you think through at least the last three features we've made, it's like looking at love through different sort of facets of a stone or something." - Dan Berk
