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.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy it's romantic.

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.

Before I became a suspense novelist I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.

But other vampire stories? Well no I really haven't read too many and I can't say I'm crazy about romantic vampires anyway - to me the vampire is simply an evil monster.

I got a degree in sociology didn't read much fiction in college and I was a pretty political left-wing type of guy. I wanted to do some kind of work in social change and make things better for the poor man and I was very romantic and passionate about it.

I don't live with people that's why my relationships last. I'm not romantic. Even when I was a teenager if somebody asked if they could hold my hand I'd say - no it's not heavy I can hold it myself thank you'.

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like 'Oh here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

Hugh Grant is the main man. He's the number one romantic comedy man in the world.

I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.

I try to speak of a love that not necessarily romantic. I think there is so much love between people and so much love people want to give but it's harder and harder these days to show that to celebrate that you know?

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

I'm a horrible romantic!

I really really really want to do a silly romantic comedy where I can just have a crush on the guy trip over myself and laugh and be goofy. I just feel like all I do is cry sob and fight zombies and the bad guys.

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

I think in a lot of romantic comedies it ends with a kiss and I feel like in modern day relationships and maybe just my own experience it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together. You're texting. You're wondering what's going on. There's no definitions there's no labels.

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.

If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.

I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.

My husband does so many romantic things for me it's absurd.

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.

If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.

Classical Romantic and Baroque music that's what I really like.

You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts because they probably think I'm this dark twisted miserable person.

I'm a very romantic person.

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.

You're always close and you never get that big romantic lead.

We are in desperate need of a well-done romantic lesbian comedy.

As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.

Usually in romantic comedies you end up sacrificing a great deal of the complexity - you know just two attractive people and a good soundtrack.
