Shailene Woodley interview

You’re definitely laughing, you’re definitely crying. It’s really beautiful even to find that balance between grieving over the loss of someone and also celebrating life. Those are two things that often go hand-in-hand without us recognizing it or realizing it. And that’s one thing that I truly love about that story.

It’s a good point [Wolverine relies on physical strength]. Then I keep thinking, I know the budgets on these movies go up, but I’m like, ‘Can you just throw some of that special effects budget my way?’ I’m an old man. Just pump me up and let me sit in the chair and drink my beer.

It’s kind of like a tragic love story I just kind of feel like when I was working on the album, I started realizing how much things have changed, how much people change.

Jared Leto interview

It was a lot of fun, and it’s kind of our little summer song. I think it’s good to do things that are unexpected. It keeps it exciting and collaboration is always an interesting thing.

If I had gone on 80 years and never had to deal with that, I would have been fine. We had gone out it was like 1:30 in the morning We were watching Gladiator on TV. And all of a sudden we heard a knock and they just barged on in. [They] knocked first we didn’t recognize them [so] we didn’t open it. And the second guy, [my friend] thought it was a neighbor. And it was only one person … no mask, no gun, no glove, didn’t look suspicious. As soon as they opened the door, then four people barged in guns a blazing. I thought whatever you want you take it.

That is the most vulnerable song we’ve ever written. And we felt so alone when we wrote it and it’s so crazy that that is the song that is doing this. We never thought that would be the single.

There is actually another sort of Say Something on the album called I Don’t Want to Love Anybody Else. That’s like my Say Something. There’s no happy ending.
