If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.

I will never say never but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting.

I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies my name would be pretty low down on the list.

I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because in general they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.

But no I don't really like romantic comedies so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.

I think in general romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.

Usually comedy is only available to us ladies in the romantic comedy. That's why I hate romantic comedies.

I want to do the romantic comedies. You know the stuff that Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon would choose of course.

You know I grew up on romantic comedies and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.

I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.

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.

I'd see movies comedies and I loved 'Animal House' I loved all the John Hughes stuff but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

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.

It's the contemporary woman that movies don't know what to do with other than bathe her in a bridal glow in romantic comedies where both the romance and the comedy are artificial sweeteners.

I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such which probably explains why since the end of my marriage I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

Prior to Wordsworth humor was an essential part of poetry. I mean they don't call them Shakespeare comedies for nothing.

I love being on stage if I'm not on a set. If I'm at home I'm usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance so if the right script comes along and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now then I'm ready willing and able to give it a shot.

I was making a lot of 8mm home movies since I was twelve making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny in fact the audiences in London Toronto LA New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.
