I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such which probably explains why since the end of my marriage I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

I have to be asked I guess but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic and I always have been.

Marriage is not simply a romantic union between two people it's also a political and economic contract of the highest order.

I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.

I'm a romantic and we romantics are more sensitive to the way people feel. We love more and we hurt more. When we're hurt we hurt for a long time.

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.

I'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'

My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.

Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.

People who know me they know I have a sense of humor I'm a bit of a joker a bit of a clown really and I would love someone to exploit that side of me and send me a romantic comedy.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

I've flown across America I've scaled fences I've stood under windows and gone out of my way hundreds of times. I'm a hopeless romantic. There's no hope for me.

For all their current prestige Osama bin Laden and the suicide bombers are still regarded in all but the most desperate districts of Gaza or Peshawar as romantics with little chance of more than symbolic victories however bloody and brutal. That gives both the Middle East and the West a small and distant hope of security.

I'm a romantic a sentimental person thinks things will last a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.

Americans particularly after World War II tended to romanticize war because in World War II our cause was the cause of humanity and our soldiers brought home glory and victory and thank God that they did. But it led us to romanticize it to some extent.

The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together but that's it. All the rest of it the true love is the test.
