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.

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 was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

'I Am Number Four' is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.

I bought a selection of short romantic fiction novels studied them decided that I had found a formula and then wrote a book that I figured was the perfect story. Thank goodness it was rejected.

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

My object will be first to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect.

I am very proud to come back to speak on the disinterested effort we have made and I believe that with all due respect that the decisions we made when we turned our final report over to President Johnson will stand in history.

That is a Medieval way of drawing history in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.

I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
