ROMANTIC QUOTES

• You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.
  ~ Charles Bukowski ~

  ~ Charles Bukowski ~
• 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.
  ~ Harvey Fierstein ~
• I'm not what you might call sexy, but I'm romantic. Let's put it that way.
  ~ Betty White ~

  ~ Catherine Deneuve ~
• 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.
  ~ Giada De Laurentiis ~

• I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
  ~ Sidney Poitier ~
• If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of.
  ~ Ryan Gosling ~
• It's been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that they've got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all.
  ~ Jane Campion ~
• I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive.

  ~ Ginnifer Goodwin ~
• 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.
  ~ Ginnifer Goodwin ~
• Sometimes I make very selfish choices like I did 'Once Upon A Time' for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child. I've done some movies because I would regret them if I didn't, but other projects I've done because they've scared me or if I felt I needed to do a big romantic comedy to help me professionally.

• Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.
  ~ Ang Lee ~
• Stand-up is like a row boat: it's fun and romantic when you're choosing to do it. But if you have no other choice than to be in a row boat it's not as enjoyable that's survival.
  ~ Demetri Martin ~
• I feel close to Lloyd in 'Say Anything'. He was like a super-interesting version of me. Only I'm not as good as him. Whatever part of me is romantic and optimistic, I reached into that to play Lloyd.
  ~ John Cusack ~
• Acting can be pretty challenging. I can't say making a romantic comedy is challenging, but to do anything well, you have to put yourself into it.
  ~ John Cusack ~
• But no, I don't really like romantic comedies, so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.
  ~ John Cusack ~
• I love surprises - champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

• 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 ~
• When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• On 'The Office,' so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary.
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feeling - that there's nobody that looks like me in movies, nobody would cast me as a romantic lead, but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
  ~ Mindy Kaling ~
• I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

  ~ Sienna Miller ~
• I was blinded by being a romantic person.
  ~ Sienna Miller ~

  ~ Christian Bale ~
• In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
  ~ Christian Bale ~
• I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting.

  ~ Chuck Palahniuk ~
• As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to.

  ~ Jeff Bridges ~
• Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive.
