I've never felt that I had to take a role in one of those mediocre but hugely budgeted romantic comedies because I want to wear beautiful dresses and have people think I'm pretty and that I get the guy.

I can sit in front of the TV and watch an old romantic film and be transfixed.

There is as much wisdom in listening as there is in speaking - and that goes for all relationships not just romantic ones.

Acting is not about anything romantic not even fantasy although you do create fantasy.

My vanity is I'm terribly romantic! But being married is lovely.

I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life it'd drive me crazy.
