Cut2014年12月号のインタビューで貞本氏は
「カヲルはシンジのことを一番わかってくれている存在なんですよね。わかっているが故に、僕のことを本当に好きだったら殺して欲しいと、矛盾に満ちた踏み絵を突きつけるっていうね」「現実的にシンジが“人を好きになる”ことと向き合うエピソードで、カヲルを存在させたっていうことです」とコメントしている。

"Kawl is the one who knows the best about Shinji. Because he knows, if you really like me, I want you to kill me, and you will get a contradiction of a stepping picture" He commented that Shinji actually had Kaoru in an episode that confronts "becoming like people" in a realistic way.
Nothing very surprising, in fact, besides Sadamoto observing Kaworu's innate observations on Shinji, and apparently his observation that Kaworu in his "the next thing you do is proof of what you really think of me" scene (as it is rendered in the official English translation, instead of this soulless machine translation).
This part from the Asuka article though:
Cut (カット) 2014年 12月号の貞本エヴァインタビューによると「最終回に出てくるアスカは、これまでの本編でのアスカではなくて、次の新しい世界でも知りあえるであろう魅力的な女性の象徴として出している」とのことで、シンジとの恋愛的な意味は無いと発言している。
Google translation wrote:Cut According to the interview with Enomoto Eva in the December 2014 issue, "Asuka coming out in the final round is not an Asuka in the main story so far, but an attractive woman who will also know in the next new world" It is said that it has no romantic meaning with Shinji.
Again nothing too special besides the idea that this is a new Asuka and a new Shinji and she isn't automatically enamored with him. Do notice the "no romantic meaning" is not a quote from the translation but rather inserted by the wiki, though other part of the article state she does have feelings for him in EoE and Ep 22 etc.
Regardless of the fact that these two specific quotes don't really add much, I am interested to see if anyone has that interview, and possibly if anyone is able to translate it, if it does offer any more additional information.
