On what he liked about Ennis Del Mar:
"I don’t know, his potential, he had great potential to love. I think the one time you really see the potential is with his kids, his children, because that’s the one form of love he’s really allowed to express, it’s not dangerous to him. And with his wife it just wasn’t really love, it was just what he thought should be love, and it was a routine that he slipped into because it was conventional. It was traditional, and obviously his love for Jack was forbidden and he hated himself for it, he punished himself for it. Essentially he was a homophobic man in love with another man. So that, I guess, I I always had faith in the love within him a lot more than he did. I think that’s what all the characters found in him too, was the potential within this masculine figure to be kind of vulnerable."
