I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.
I don't find these technical things like flowers and chocolates romantic at all. I think Valentine's Day makes no sense.
I think Bach is equally a romantic composer because he laid the seeds harmonically for people like Chopin and the great Romantics, Brahms, so it's difficult to you know all this like labelling and putting - I think Bach is attractive to musicians because he supersedes the labels.
When I was growing up, my favorite movie was 'Somewhere in Time' with Christopher Reeve, which is a hugely romantic, sappy movie. I couldn't understand it when the guy didn't get the girl or the girl didn't get the guy in love stories. I was definitely a sap.
We travellers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic.
I have always been a romantic, one of those people who believes that a woman in pink circus tights contains all the secrets of the universe.
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.
I don't know who would not classify themselves as a romantic. I think that would be sort of sad.
I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.
The romantic notion of the clubhouse as a traveling fraternity of working-class heroes - the boys of summer - is perhaps the most potent in all of baseball.
Ooh, it's too embarrassing to share my innermost romantic secrets - although I have written Danielle the odd poem. If anything they are more comedic than romantic. They used to be well-received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept.
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
I think that romantic comedies have a special place in most people's hearts, especially the younger demographic.
I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.
You know, I grew up on romantic comedies, and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.
I love being manipulated by what I see. I love weepies and romantic comedies where you're reaching for the Kleenex at the right moment.
I personally don't like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.
I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.
