- That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
- That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.
- Catherine Deneuve on Romantic
- The American is wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost.
- Leslie Caron on Romantic
- The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It's strange how involved people get: invested and angry, really disappointed.
- Sienna Miller on Romantic
- The big stars I felt a kinship with were never the romantic leads. It wasn't Steve McQueen or Robert Redford - it was people like Walter Matthau and Anthony Quinn. My big hero was Tommy Cooper.
- Alfred Molina on Romantic
- The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald on Romantic
- The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit, since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity.
- Kate Millett on Romantic
- The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.
- Marya Mannes on Romantic
- 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.
- Gus Van Sant on Romantic
- The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.
- Anita Brookner on Romantic
- The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
- Buchi Emecheta on Romantic
- The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality, I find it scary.
- Vanessa Paradis on Romantic
- The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.
- Douglas Horton on Romantic
- The most aggressive artists often hide their romantic side.
- Don Johnson on Romantic
- The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
- Andrew Sullivan on Romantic
- The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
- The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
- Christian Bale on Romantic
- The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
- Ewan McGregor on Romantic
- The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.
- Joe DiMaggio on Romantic
- The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny.
- Hugh Grant on Romantic
- The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
- Havelock Ellis on Romantic
- The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
- Irwin Shaw on Romantic
- 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.
- The Romantic poets were the prototype ramblers, and I've often found myself following in their footsteps - although perhaps not all of their footsteps since a typical walk for Samuel T. Coleridge might last two days and cover 145km.
- Arthur Smith on Romantic
- The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice.
- James Weldon Johnson on Romantic
- The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.
- Harlan Coben on Romantic
- The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.
- Virginia Woolf on Romantic
- The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.
- David Lyons on Romantic
- The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom, and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that, you start losing relatability. In a lot of romantic comedies, they throw out the rules of life.
- Michael Patrick King on Romantic
- The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
- Bela Lugosi on Romantic
- The whole romantic part of my life was a wipeout. I didn't even own a belt.
- Paul Lynde on Romantic
- The whole westward expansion myth is seen as romantic. But it's a joke, a blot on American history.
- Frank Waters on Romantic
- The word 'romance,' according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.
- Billy Graham on Romantic
- The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer's life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.
- Mary Roberts Rinehart on Romantic
- Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.
- Bill Griffith on Romantic
- Therapy was the biggest romance of my life.
- Dar Williams on Romantic
- There are certain romances that belong in certain cities, in a certain atmosphere, in a certain time.
- Sammy Davis, Jr. on Romantic
- There are so many different reasons as to why I love riding trains. But I think ultimately it's the romantic feeling of it. There's something about it that just transports me into old films.
- Rosario Dawson on Romantic
- There is as much wisdom in listening as there is in speaking - and that goes for all relationships, not just romantic ones.
- Daniel Dae Kim on Romantic
- There were two sides to David Lean: on the one side, he was kind of a rather stiff, disciplined Englishman. And then he had this kind of romantic side to him. I think being true to both sides of your nature is important.
- John Boorman on Romantic
- There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre.
- Nancy Meyers on Romantic
- There's nothing more romantic than Italian food.
- Elisha Cuthbert on Romantic
- There's something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple's first meeting.
- John Sandford on Romantic
- There's something about the sound of a train that's very romantic and nostalgic and hopeful.
- Paul Simon on Romantic
- There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.
- Ben Affleck on Romantic
- There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.
- Amy Poehler on Romantic
- Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.
- Patti Stanger on Romantic
- Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So, there's always a new generation with new music.
- Bobby Vinton on Romantic
- Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.
- Julie Delpy on Romantic
- Tradition wears a snowy beard, romance is always young.
- John Greenleaf Whittier on Romantic
