I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of "The West Wing." We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.
~By Jason Isaacs ~
As a kid I quite fancied the romantic, Bohemian idea of being an artist. I expect I thought I could escape from the difficulties of maths and spelling. Maybe I thought I would avoid the judgement of the establishment.

~By Charles Kuralt ~
I'm really a romantic at heart.
~By Christopher Atkins ~

~By Catherine Deneuve ~
Consider what a romantic expedition you are on; take notes.
~By Anne Boyd ~
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.
~By Christian Bale ~
My romantically favorite era is 78, 79 listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 4, the live tapes, echo chamber and break beats.
~By Kool Moe Dee ~
Romantics consider common sense vulgar.

Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.
~By Maggie Gallagher ~
I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.
~By Kate Hudson ~
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.
~By Christina Ricci ~
The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
~By Bela Lugosi ~
To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
~By Charles Baudelaire ~
I bought a selection of short, romantic fiction novels, studied them, decided that I had found a formula and then wrote a book that I figured was the perfect story. Thank goodness it was rejected.

~By Robert Frank ~
I was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.

~By George Herman ~
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
~By Robert Smith ~

~By Naomi Watts ~

~By Gloria Steinem ~
Well my biggest dream is to be in a romantic comedy.
~By Izabella Scorupco ~
Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor; we do not remember him in it.
~By Igor Stravinsky ~
The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.
~By Joe DiMaggio ~

~By Julia Roberts ~

~By Mary Roberts Rinehart ~
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
~By Sean Penn ~
You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.

~By Jeff Bridges ~
Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion, in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman, that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.
~By Mary Astell ~
Once I got married and had kids, I moved away from romantic roles, because it seemed wrong to have my 3-year-old wondering why Daddy was kissing someone else.
~By Chevy Chase ~

~By James L. Brooks ~
The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
~By Andrew Sullivan ~
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
~By Thomas Moore ~
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
~By Tom Wolfe ~
I always wanted a guitar. I always wanted to be a cowboy singer because I also listened to Hank Williams, and he would always sing these neat romantic songs.
~By Dick Dale ~
By all but the pathologically romantic, it is now recognized that this is not the age of the small man.
~By John Kenneth Galbraith ~
When I start to write, words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist.
~By John McGahern ~
Basically, I'm a romantic.
~By Pia Zadora ~
I'm very used to playing the tomboy or the sarcastic cynic. That's my go-to. Playing the vulnerable of a real girl that's in real womanlike situations, where it's romanticized, I'm a little nervous about it.
~By Kristen Bell ~
I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.
~By Carter Burwell ~
I joined the air force. I took to it immediately when I arrived there. I did three years, eight months, and ten days in all, but it took me a year and a half to get disabused of my romantic notions about it.
~By Morgan Freeman ~
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.
~By Brian Lumley ~
My husband does so many romantic things for me, it's absurd.
~By Jennifer Beals ~
I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me, thank God.
~By Gabrielle Union ~
We must not, however, be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who, in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention, disregarded also the humane aspiration.
~By Irving Babbitt ~
What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one's nose, taking shortcuts.
~By Italo Calvino ~
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. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.
~By Jeff Bridges ~
In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.
~By Carter Burwell ~
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
~By Fran Lebowitz ~
The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.
~By Maurice Chevalier ~
The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

~By Thom Gunn ~
Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.
~By Bill Griffith ~
I enjoy doing romantic stories. I've done a lot of them.
~By Joe Lando ~
In the West audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
~By Chow Yun Fat ~
I don't think that digital photography is romantic yet. It's not sympathetic the way that film is.
~By Matthew Modine ~
I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.
~By Linda Fiorentino ~
You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.
~By Stevie Nicks ~
In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love, you want the other person.
~By Margaret Chase Smith ~

~By Warren Buffett ~
A handful of older, romantic leading men, like Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and Robert Redford are still landing parts.
~By Charles Dance ~

~By Thomas Jane ~
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.
~By Wentworth Miller ~
It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.
~By Sarah McLachlan ~
The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
~By Irwin Shaw ~
The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.
~By F. Scott Fitzgerald ~

You're always close and you never get that big romantic lead.
~By Patricia Clarkson ~

~By Alex O'Loughlin ~

~By Sarah Jessica Parker ~
New York has got this sort of wonderful romantic idea of the South.
~By Josh Lucas ~
I set about seeking a thread, a theme, a style, in the realm of legend. Something that might allow me to give free rein to my juvenile sense of romanticism and the beautiful image.
~By Leni Riefenstahl ~
It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.
~By Walter Hagen ~
I don't want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they're fun, and especially for women, it's nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air.
~By Kristen Bell ~
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
~By Max Eastman ~

~By Joan Chen ~
I'm very romantic.
~By Enrique Iglesias ~
The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.
