I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men.

I'm a feminist but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert the empty space the drama.

Remember beneath every cynic there lies a romantic and probably an injured one.

The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

Romance is everything.

Romance is thinking about your significant other when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest it's so disarming.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

The telephone which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations has a romance of its own.
