My overall quest is always to do something that's somehow different from whatever it is that I just got done doing. If that can include occasionally playing an older guy who has a romantic side and a romantic relationship, than that's a real treat.
I don't ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I'm not a romantic really.
My hairline is receding. So my days as a romantic lead - even though I've never had them - are behind me.
If I wear a suit, as I generally do in the business world, it's supposed to mean I'm retreating from competition with the bunnies. If I wear a very glamorous romantic dress, as I'm very likely to do if I'm going out in the evening, then I'm supposed to be competing with the bunnies.
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.
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.
I'm not romantic; I'm very practical. There are lots of fish in the sea; so whoever gets struck with your rod, one is as good as another.
There are certain romances that belong in certain cities, in a certain atmosphere, in a certain time.
I find short, fast romances romantic. There's a beauty to dark imagery.
In short I will part with anything for you but you.
I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
But no, I don't really like romantic comedies, so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.
I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.
I've had fun doing romantic comedies, but I just can't anymore. There's nothing fulfilling creatively, there's nowhere to grow, nothing to learn from it or for yourself. I'd rather just be home with my family or write music until that special project comes my way.
I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.
I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.
My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.
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.
I love a good romantic comedy.
