“People tell me I look mournful. They say, ‘Cheer up, Dan, it’s not that bad!’ Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I’m a happy person. Though I don’t, like, dot my “I’s” with hearts or anything — that would be too happy.”

“For me, Kill Your Darlings is a film about young love in whatever form it takes. It wasn’t any more challenging than if you’re doing a [sexual] awakening scene with a girl. At no point did any of us want to do anything that would distinguish it from how we would fall in love with somebody—to my knowledge, there is no difference in how heterosexual and homosexual people fall in love. A lot of people are quick to ask if it’s a gay love story—well, yes, they are gay characters, but it’s just a love story.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/f34832c63a52b8f2ddc6b7dedd760334/tumblr_mhsc2kD9cf1qi5ybvo1_500.jpg)
