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.

I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies.

Truthfully I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping ' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.

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 think Bond the character is distinct: He's British he has a certain code that he lives by he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero but he's also fallible. He has inner demons inner conflicts and he's a romantic.

Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.

Many people with physical disabilities have romantic lives and good marriages to partners who see past their disabilities and recognize all of the things they can do.

Maybe I'm naively romantic but I do believe that spice and excitement doesn't stop once a couple gets together.

Somebody called me a 'bruised romantic' once and I like that.

When I was a teenager I was a total romantic escapist. My world was books.
