I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such which probably explains why since the end of my marriage I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

I have to be asked I guess but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic and I always have been.

Marriage is not simply a romantic union between two people it's also a political and economic contract of the highest order.

I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.

I'm a romantic and we romantics are more sensitive to the way people feel. We love more and we hurt more. When we're hurt we hurt for a long time.

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.

I'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'

My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.

Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.
