"'Strange' comes, I think, in the cold, in the ice, in the snow. There's a beauty to it that's always made me fall in love, I guess. I can fall in love in the snow [giggle]. I guess it's a good thing to remember. The ice is very sexy to me, and they're blowing this ice smoke back and forth. That's what, anyway, that's what it does for me. So, yeah, I could fall in love in the snow and have done many times and so, I guess Scarlet's falling in love in the snow here and she follows him. Maybe she's in love with a moment in time, as much as anything else. And maybe part of it is a memory of someone that she's breathing into him. But at a certain point she, she knows that she can't be the only one that has enough love here."
