I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.

It's good to be able to be a leading lady to be a romantic lead to play opposite people who are talented and charismatic and stuff.

Dinner is a great first date. Don't believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date - sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I want to do the romantic comedies. You know the stuff that Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon would choose of course.

I love surprises - champagne and strawberries all that pampering romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

It is really rare to find someone you really really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

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.

I'm into all that sappy stuff - a surprise picnic nice dinner or traveling. I'm kind of an old romantic.

You treat a kid with respect and as an adult you talk to them as if they're smart people. But you don't throw at them the trappings of adulthood and you know the darker stuff.

I remember I read this harsh review about my show and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don't need all the bells and whistles either.

At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

It's just like any relationship the more contained the environment the more the good stuff appears and the more the bad stuff will reveal itself.

I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid and hold on to it and that affects every relationship they have.
