Jonathan Tropper
Image
We all start out so damn sure, thinking we've got the world on a string. If we ever stopped to think about the infinite number of ways we could be undone, we'd never leave our bedrooms.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
I’m living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
If only all our conflicts could be resolved with a few grunts and a smack in the ass.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
Don't you think if I was able to make some changes, I would have already?
Jonathan Tropper
Image
It's sort of an organic process when you're adapting any book, not even just your own. You want to preserve the heart of the story and you want to preserve who the characters are, but film requires a lot of compression.

I blame Hollywood for skewing perspectives. Life is just a big romantic comedy to them, and if you meet cute, happily ever-after is a forgone conclusion.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
Love made us partners in narcissism, and we talked ceaselessly about how close we were, how perfect our connection was, like we were the first people in history to ever get it exactly right.
