I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.

American culture is torn between our long romance with violence and our terror of the devastation wrought by war and crime and environmental havoc.

If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin they would never have found time to conquer the world.

I'm a journeyman actor and I don't ever want to forget that. With romantic-lead dreams.

Deep down I'm a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I'll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee.

I think everyone dreams of that nice romantic wedding.

The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams an intensity of expectation that in the end diminishes the reality.

When I was very very young seven years old I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.

Lidia Bastianich sorry but kind of boring. I mean I love Lidia but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death... but he's not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.

The death of Pope John Paul II led many of different faiths and of no faith to acknowledge their debt to the Roman Catholic Church for holding on to absolutes that the rest of us can measure ourselves against.

Death was like love a romantic escape.

I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you're dating or seeing have something special and it's a more special occasion.

I'm opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It's funny - my friends would always come to me for romantic advice. I know nothing and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I'm really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.

Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook but John is a really great one. Literally I never cook. The whole time we were dating I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again.

When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet fateful romantic idea about love which was almost that you were a victim and there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be.
