Candy (2006 film)

Candy is a 2006 film about a poet who falls in love with an art student who gravitates to his bohemian lifestyle — and his love of heroin. Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.
 * Directed by Neil Armfield. Written by Neil Armfield, based on the novel Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke Davies.

Dan

 * When I first met Candy, those were like the days of "juice" when everything was bountiful.
 * I wasn't trying to wreck Candy's life. I was trying to make mine better.
 * The future was a thing that gleamed, the present was so very very good...
 * We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete.
 * They say for every ten years you've been a junkie, you'll have spent seven of them waiting. On the one hand it anxiety was a full time job.
 * Everything we ever did, we did with the best of intentions. But events tumbled and the years piled up. The world is very b think; I couldn't breathe. I was waiting for her to come back because she was everything. She was everything to me.

Casper

 * When you can stop, you don't want to. When you want to stop, you can't.
