Women today are dealing with both their independence and also the fact that their lives are built around finding and satisfying the romantic models we grew up with.

The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice.

The Romantic poets were the prototype ramblers and I've often found myself following in their footsteps - although perhaps not all of their footsteps since a typical walk for Samuel T. Coleridge might last two days and cover 145km.

I don't ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I'm not a romantic really.

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.

You're an actor are you? Well all that means is: you are irresponsible irrational romantic and incapable of handling an adult emotion or a universal concept without first reducing it to something personal material sensational - and probably sexual!

I'm a big romantic traditional cheesy guy.

The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing but it was a success.

It's a very romantic sentiment but to think that you would die if you didn't write well I would definitely choose to not write and live.

I would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a romantic period piece but those are really hard to get made because they're very expensive and there's not a huge demographic.

The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat' while romantic is really meaningless since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.

Conductors' careers are made for the most part with 'Romantic' music. 'Classic' music eliminates the conductor we do not remember him in it.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

I'm a fan of daytime drama I totally get it. When we are doing scenes that are romantic or will get the audience riled up I feel like I'm a fan in the room going 'People are going to be so mad right now!'

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I've always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes.

I'm very romantic.

I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex bigger than life characters.

I'm a bit of a romantic.

I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.

The most successful marriages gay or straight even if they begin in romantic love often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.

I don't know about the romantic comedy route although never say never.

Even actresses that you really admire like Reese Witherspoon you think 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think 'God you're so great!' And then you think 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course it's for money and status.

I have tender romantic associations with upstate New York.
