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.

I'm a very romantic and passionate guy.

I'm very romantic. I've emptied flower shops.

I know it's hard to blame the time but there's a bit of an expectation for a summer movie. I think that 'Superman Returns' was a bit nostalgic and romantic and I don't think that was what people were expecting especially in the summer.

I'm a very loyal boyfriend. I'm a bit of a joker... I can be romantic but not too sickly.

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And of course I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.

I heard this music coming out of the radio and it was 'Ain't Nobody's Business.' It got me. I thought 'I can do this.' I decided just like that. No romantic story.

I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.

Truthfully I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping ' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.

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.

I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British he has a certain code that he lives by he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero but he's also fallible. He has inner demons inner conflicts and he's a romantic.

A man's ability to haggle is never a turn-on. The only thing less romantic than how much you paid is how much you saved. The last thing we want to hear is how you talked the jeweler down on our new earrings.

There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing and romantic comedies are a classic genre.

I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.

I love romantic comedy but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.

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.

I think Bach is equally a romantic composer because he laid the seeds harmonically for people like Chopin and the great Romantics Brahms so it's difficult to you know all this like labelling and putting - I think Bach is attractive to musicians because he supersedes the labels.
