Hugh Grant is really the perfect actor for romantic comedies. Anything he does is invariably charming.
Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
Classic romantic love is an emotional attraction between two individuals in which they may share a heightened awareness of mutual adoration. Erotic love, traditionally, has been described as shared sexual attraction.
I think the best romantic comedies are hard funny – no soft jokes, but ones that make you, like, guffaw. I also think that they have to make you feel good, ideally, and make you feel warm inside at the end.
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.

Shah Rukh is very romantic in real life, too.
It’s not a conscious decision that I only want to do romantic films.
I want to do the romantic comedies. You know, the stuff that Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon would choose, of course.

I love romantic comedies so much.
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.

Before I became a suspense novelist, I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.
My brother has a tendency to get quite lyrical when he writes music; he gets so romantic, it’s borderline. I make it slightly more aggressive. I make the round corner a bit sharper.
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.

I’m definitely a romantic, no doubt about it.
I’m a hopeless romantic, of course.
