Director of the Notebook, Nick Cassavetes, on Incest: "Who Gives a Damn?"



Fox News - Hollywood director Nick Cassevetes came out in favor of incest in an interview with The Wrap. The director of the popular romance "The Notebook" was out promoting a new film that features an incestuous relationship between a brother and sister. “I’m not saying this is an absolute but in a way, if you’re not having kids – who gives a damn? Love who you want. Isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want?” Cassavetes said. “If it’s your brother or sister it’s super weird, but if you look at it, you’re not hurting anybody, except every single person who freaks out because you’re in love with one another.”


Not to pry too much into the family business Nick, but I'm pretty sure I know two people who's damns are given...Zoe and Alexandra, aka, YOUR SISTERS. I mean, that had to set the record for most awkward phone call of all time...

Nick: "So, uhh, that stuff I said today about incest, that didn't have anything to do with you guys, I just wanted you to know that..."

Zoe/Alexandra: We're you're only sisters, Nick.

Nick: Yea, but, it was hypothetical, you know? It's not like I've ever wanted to have flipper kids with you, just that if we ever were hook-up, as long as it was protected would it really be a big deal?

Zoe/Alexandra: We have to go, Nick. Don't call back for a while.

Nick: Ahhh Come on!
