“Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.”
Romance is the art of making someone feel chosen. These quotes capture the butterflies, the grand gestures, the quiet moments, and the particular electricity that exists between two people who have decided to pay close attention to each other.
“I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming.”
“Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.”
“You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.”
“The dark comedies tend to be in a non-releasable area. There can be romantic comedies. There can be dramas. But there's no 'dark comedy' inbox for the advertising.”
“I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.”
“So many women today have become so focused on their children, they've developed these romantic entanglements with their children's lives, and the husbands are secondary. They're left out. And the romantic focus is on the children.”
“I would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a romantic period piece, but those are really hard to get made because they're very expensive and there's not a huge demographic.”
“I confess I am a romantic. I love romance, and I think it's really fun and delicious and some of my favorite films are love stories. I think that you just get a chance to fall in love with the characters so much and you get to explore their lives so deeply.”
“But no, I don't really like romantic comedies, so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.”
“There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.”
“I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.”
“People expect me to be dark and gloomy, then write that I'm a jolly chap, and after all, that is what I am. I think it's a case of an absolute romantic naivety that there should be a parallel between the work and the artist.”
“I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.”
“I've always been sort of addicted to genre-jumping. I've never been in the mood to do the same thing I did last time. Hence, me going from 'Big Love' to romantic comedy, to period film... I can't sit still.”
“My greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is in personal romantic relationships with a man.”
“It's easier to write from my own life, and it's also more fun. I always write about relationships, for instance, whether they're romantic relationships, friendships, encounters... there's always a lesson to be learned from them.”
