~By Meg Ryan ~

~By James Van Der Beek ~
I'd like to be played as a child by Natalie Wood. I'd have some romantic scenes as Audrey Hepburn and have gritty black-and-white scenes as Patricia Neal.
~By Gloria Steinem ~
We not only romanticize the future; we have also made it into a growth industry, a parlor game and a disaster movie all at the same time.
~By Eugene Kennedy ~
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
~By Max Eastman ~
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 ~
And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.
~By Beatrice Wood ~
It was the most romantic plane ever made.
~By Ken Follett ~
I got a gymnastics scholarship to college, fell in love with my true love of my whole life - who I'm married to now - and he was a virgin too. It was very romantic.

~By Robert Smith ~
I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.
~By Kate Hudson ~
With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.
~By Bill Pullman ~
Personally, I can't see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.
~By Barbara Ehrenreich ~
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a reporter. I don't know where I got the idea that it was a romantic calling.
~By Charles Kuralt ~
I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.
~By Hugo Weaving ~
I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.
~By Gene Tierney ~

~By Paul Simon ~
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 ~
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.
~By Cameron Diaz ~
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 ~
Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.
~By Thomas Mann ~
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 ~
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.
~By Arthur Symons ~
Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So, there's always a new generation with new music.
~By Bobby Vinton ~
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
~By Arthur Rimbaud ~
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 ~
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 ~
Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.
~By Bill Griffith ~
In those days, boxing was very glamorous and romantic. You listened to fights on the radio, and a good announcer made it seem like a contest between gladiators.
~By Joseph Barbera ~
In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.
~By Carter Burwell ~
You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.
~By Charles Bukowski ~
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
~By Sean Penn ~
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 ~
At the risk of sounding hopelessly romantic, love is the key element. I really love to play with different musicians who come from different cultural backgrounds.

~By Morgan Freeman ~
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 ~
In our romantic groves I adored her like a divinity.
~By Anne Boyd ~
I am a big fan of vampires. I've always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood.
~By Alex O'Loughlin ~
There were two sides to David Lean: on the one side, he was kind of a rather stiff, disciplined Englishman. And then he had this kind of romantic side to him. I think being true to both sides of your nature is important.
~By John Boorman ~
It takes a kind of shabby arrogance to survive in our time, and a fairly romantic nature to want to.
~By Edgar Z. Friedenberg ~

~By Charles Baudelaire ~
The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
~By Henry Ellis ~

~By Kool Moe Dee ~
The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
~By Ewan McGregor ~
The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
~By Bela Lugosi ~

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.
~By Orlando Bloom ~
I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now.
~By Ryan Reynolds ~
The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
~By Buchi Emecheta ~
When I was younger, many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely, afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.
~By Michael Zaslow ~
I'm opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It's funny - my friends would always come to me for romantic advice. I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I'm really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.
~By Olivia Wilde ~
Are we simply romantically challenged, or are we sluts?
~By Sarah Jessica Parker ~
When I read the script, I liked the script very much and I thought it was a marvelous part for her, because I think it is a change of pace. I mean, we know how wonderful she is in romantic comedy.
~By Albert Finney ~
The Falstaff people, romantics all, went for it. They were so anxious to find out what I was going to do that they could hardly bear to wait out the two weeks. I was rather anxious to find out what I was going to do, too.
~By Bill Veeck ~
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.
~By Naomi Watts ~
I'm into all that sappy stuff - a surprise picnic, nice dinner, or traveling. I'm kind of an old romantic.
~By Will Estes ~
There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.
~By Ben Affleck ~
I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.
~By Maria Bello ~

~By Leni Riefenstahl ~
I used to try to draw my girlfriends. I think one of the most romantic things that anybody can do is draw a portrait of the person you love.
~By Nick Carter ~
People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences.
~By Richard Thompson ~
My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.
~By Salma Hayek ~
The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny.
~By Hugh Grant ~
And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
~By Norman Jewison ~
The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.
~By Marya Mannes ~
The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice.
~By James Weldon Johnson ~
Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.
~By Tim Roth ~
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 ~
You're an actor, are you? Well, all that means is: you are irresponsible, irrational, romantic, and incapable of handling an adult emotion or a universal concept without first reducing it to something personal, material, sensational - and probably sexual!
~By George Herman ~
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 ~
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 ~
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.
~By Sally Kellerman ~

~By Morgan Freeman ~
I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.
~By James L. Brooks ~
The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.
~By Douglas Horton ~
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 saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.
~By Conrad Hall ~
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 Peter Wright ~
I don't think that digital photography is romantic yet. It's not sympathetic the way that film is.
~By Matthew Modine ~
I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out.
~By Jennifer Love Hewitt ~
If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.
~By Neville Marriner ~
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 ~
