"Chemistry is a really interesting topic in real life and also in movies, TV, whatever, because it’s kind of this thing that you can’t define. It’s very mercurial. Some people say it doesn’t exist. Some people believe in it. Everyone has their own idea. I think that’s the whole point of chemistry — you can’t define it. Sometimes, you find or you meet someone that you just have this instant connection to, and you can call it whatever you want."
