ASHTON KUTCHER:
“I think that the appeal of Oliver is that he’s relatable. I think that guys in general feel like they have to attain a certain personal status in their mind before they can be in a relationship. It’s like, ‘I don’t know who I am yet. But I’m going to be who I am as soon as I get this and this and this. Then I don’t have to worry about trading up.’ It’s like, ‘Right now I’m at this level and so I can get this kind of girl. And then when I get here I’m going to trade up, so why even go through it, I’ll just wait until I get there.’ The truth is that you’re never there, but you’re always there. I think that’s a very relatable place for guys.”
PEET:
“I guess I don’t believe in love at first sight. I definitely believe in a lot of chemistry and lust at first sight. But I think that love is something that takes work. As you can see in the movie, I think that timing is everything. People have to be ready and open, and I think that’s what the movie is about.”
KUTCHER on his and Peet’s nude scene:
“I like being nude as often as I can! No, it’s really not that great for me. For other people, I like them being nude, but not me so much. It’s this awkward thing and you’re completely exposed. I had this banana thong with like a catcher’s mitt to wear. It’s was a little awkward.”
PEET:
“We were about halfway through the shoot when we had to do that.”
KUTCHER:
“I think that we were both so insecure about ourselves that we weren’t really looking at anyone else.”
PEET:
“Speak for yourself.”
KUTCHER:
“We were on a soundstage and we weren’t actually outside. So I think that kind of helped, because it’s a little bit more private.”
KUTCHER on the difference between ‘a lot like love’ and love:
“That’s a difficult question for me because I’m somewhat of a love cynic, in that I don’t know if it’s truly like a hundred percent attainable everyday in the human form. But I think that to me love is when your desire for someone else is greater than your desire for yourself, or equal to that. That’s a very tricky thing to attain. I think that a lot like love is what most of us call love.”
PEET:
“I think that the idea of the movie is that it is real love, and was strong from the get go. The only difference is the ability to talk around and around it, and tell each other that the timing isn’t right, or that you’re moving to San Francisco, or that you need to do A, B and C before you can commit. But really if the thing is there, it’s there and that’s what the movie is about.”
