Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.

We watch a romantic comedy because we want to cry, say, or an action movie so we can participate in heroics. Horror's different. It can hit you with a moment of revulsion so hard you might want to erase the last five minutes of your life, please.

Love songs just kind of come out very naturally, me being a very romantic person.

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.

I don't ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I'm not a romantic really.

So many women today have become so focused on their children, they've developed these romantic entanglements with their children's lives, and the husbands are secondary. They're left out. And the romantic focus is on the children.

When I was a child, the temptation to sin was always a romantic option. This romantic option led me to the cinema, a place where sin was welcome.

I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.

I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men.

I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.

In my twenties, I wrote a lot of romantic stories in which I always lost the girl.

I'd like to do an action film, a full-on comedy film, family dramas and a soulful romantic film.

In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes.

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.

It was a time after 'Lady Sings the Blues' and 'Mahogany' and all those romantic movies: I became this romantic figure on the street in a very special way.

I realize that no one is going to come to me and ask me to be Julius Caesar or a romantic lead, but I think I'm a certain type of guy who looks a certain way, and that's just the reality of things.

I hate to sound like a romantic adolescent, but I believe artists don't generally see art as a career choice; they simply can't overcome their desire to make art, and will live on little income for as long as they have to, before they start to sell their work - or give up and get a paying job.

YVM' is a feel-good romance.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.

I think our generation, my generation at least, has become much more comfortable with unconventional romantic relationships.
