Quotes

"[Eowyn] learns to love a human, not a romantic ideal. Faramir loves her for who she is and respects her for her courage. He also has lightness and humor, which she needs to go on living." -Miranda Otto

"In my experience feelings and decisions ripen very quickly (as measured by mere 'clock-time', which is actually not justly applicable) in periods of great stress, and especially under the expectation of immediate death. And I do not think that persons of high estate and breeding need all the petty fencing and approaches in matters of 'love'. This tale does not deal with a period of 'Courtly Love' and its pretenses; but with a culture more primitive (sc. less corrupt) and nobler... I think [Faramir] understood Eowyn very well." - J R R Tolkien

"Faramir actually got to spend several days with Eowyn in a fairly secluded romantic setting... when Faramir confessed his feelings for Eowyn, the two of them had spent far more time together than she had spent with Aragorn." - Michael Martinez

"What Peter has done not only with this part of The Lord of the Rings but with all the book and all the story, is to be as truthful and real as possible in every situation. He was adamant about that and so hopefully about that this part of the story will come across as very real and very believable for the audience. So it won't be greatly pathetic from the audience to swallow the fact that Eowyn is nearly changed between her obsession for Aragorn and then her love for Faramir." - David Wenham
