When I seemed to be irritable or sad my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight and then say 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older I've realized just how smart Knight was.

I've cried and you'd think I'd be better for it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine the rest of my life.

Forget romantic fiction a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping have sex or sleep.

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.

If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well that's the height of romance.

I'm a hopeless romantic. It's disgusting. It really is. I've seen 'While You Were Sleeping' like twenty times and I still believe in the whole Prince Charming thing.

There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.

I respect people who can do both careers like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it but I just don't know when they sleep.

Don't tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won't respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say 'Melissa you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.'.
