I enjoy doing romantic stories. I’ve done a lot of them.
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.
I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we’re living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal.
I don’t get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.
I’m a horrible romantic!

I’m a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.
Film is my favourite without a doubt. I am a film romantic and I love the grandeur of cinema. Dark theatres and big screens are my first love.
Ever since the romantic comedy-drama ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ antagonized black women and black men in 1986, Spike Lee’s films have enjoyed the outrage of various groups.

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.
Romantic comedies are usually about when love works.
When I was a child, the temptation to sin was always a romantic option. This romantic option led me to the cinema, a place where sin was welcome.
Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.

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.

Yes, I wrote songs. I was becoming kind of an Enrique Iglesias kind of a singer, with those ballads and cheesy romantic things.

Christmas is a time of year that’s so romantic.
