Romantic love, or sex, is the only good thing in a life that is being lived in a dark way.
~ Alan Furst
I am a very romantic person, and I love 'love' - however cheesy that sounds!
~ Armaan Malik
It's great to fall head over heels in love at a fast pace, and nothing's more romantic, but you need to look after yourself.
~ Douglas Booth
The state of being in love is so inherently preposterous. It usually lends itself to romantic comedy. I think we've all been there.
~ James Gray
I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.
~ Mandy Moore
I love stories with love in them. I just prefer those films. Every so often, I come across a film where there's no love story. It doesn't have to be romantic, but there's a lack of love, and I don't get that.
~ Rachel Mcadams
I love surprises - champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.
~ Danica Mckellar
Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No, Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.
~ Ayelet Waldman
Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feeling - that there's nobody that looks like me in movies, nobody would cast me as a romantic lead, but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.
~ Mindy Kaling
I'd like to do 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Pretty Woman,' Meg Ryan type stuff. Romantic comedies. I'd love to do some action stuff as well.
~ Jennifer Love Hewitt
I think when romantic comedies are done well, it's a great genre. 'When Harry Met Sally' is kind of a benchmark for me, but I'm very happy to admit that I love 'Pretty Woman.' I do! It's a great film, and so is 'Sixteen Candles.' I was a big John Hughes fan - still am. I have moments where I have to watch a Hughes film.
~ Jamie Dornan
It's so often that I read for the bouncy, sunny girl men fall in love with who will solve all the romantic problems in the narrative. I don't choose to work that way.
~ Sarah Gadon
I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.
~ Eric Bana
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
~ Bette Davis
My granddaddy on my momma's side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine's Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.
~ Josh Turner
I could never understand, when I watch romantic comedies, the notion that for some reason, unattractive or heavy people don't fall in love. If they do, it's in some odd, kooky, roundabout way - and it's not. It's exactly the same.
~ James Corden
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.
~ Cameron Díaz
After a life deprived of everything from romantic love to the choice of when to wake up in the morning, after 29 years without the ability to have a career or even to be alone at toilet, the Bijani sisters are not symbols but women who have had to live a shared life of constant, quotidian sacrifice.
~ Darin Strauss
I've always been sort of addicted to genre-jumping. I've never been in the mood to do the same thing I did last time. Hence, me going from 'Big Love' to romantic comedy, to period film... I can't sit still.
~ Ginnifer Goodwin
I could go my whole life and say, 'I'm not going to do anything with a love triangle,' but whenever you have a romance, there has to be some obstacle, and even the dumbest romantic comedies have a love triangle or something.
~ Catherine Hardwicke
I want to do action, romantic comedy, and I love drama.
~ Liya Kebede
I would love to do a romantic comedy - a good one.
~ Stephanie Sigman
It's been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that they've got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all.
~ Jane Campion
'Romeo And Juliet' is the classic love story. When two lovers are separated and trying to get back to one another, that's fiercely romantic and something you become glued to.
~ Saoirse Ronan
Love alone could waken love.
~ Pearl S. Buck
I love romantic comedies, or romantic dramas - basically anything with love in it.
~ Rachel Bilson
I would love to play the lead in a big romantic comedy. That's definitely a dream of mine.
~ Rosamund Pike
Lidia Bastianich, sorry, but kind of boring. I mean, I love Lidia, but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death... but he's not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.
~ Giada De Laurentiis
If you don't know a lot about figure skating, it's easy to fall in love with ice dancing because it's so romantic and so theatrical.
~ Dorothy Hamill
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
~ Keeley Hawes
I am very lucky. I have known wonderful romantic love in my life but to actually see this little creature and find him to be the most beautiful creature in the world. I know all mothers and fathers feel that way.
~ Anne-Marie Duff
I'm not really a believer in romantic, happily-ever-after love stories.
~ Richard Lagravenese
I have to be asked, I guess, but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic, and I always have been.
~ Portia De Rossi
Well, there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go, there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people, and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.
~ Feist
I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
~ Thomas Jane
I love being one half of a romantic couple.
~ Julianna Margulies
Love is the driver for all great stories: not just romantic love, but the love of parent for child, for family, for country.
~ Jojo Moyes
I think that sometimes, romantic comedies have to be really broad, and that the plot of people falling in and out of love or whatever is not enough. 'Enough Said' had that stuff, but I wanted it to be fun and funny while also grounded in reality.
~ Nicole Holofcener
Full-blooded romantic love I wouldn't be able to write about.
~ Alan Bennett
There are so many romantic comedies made, but very few dramas or love stories. And with a love story, you have to take time to develop three-dimensional characters.
~ Gina Prince-Bythewood
