It's the contemporary woman that movies don't know what to do with other than bathe her in a bridal glow in romantic comedies where both the romance and the comedy are artificial sweeteners.

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.

For many women going back to work a few months after having a baby is overwhelming and unmanageable. As strange as it may seem things get even more difficult for a working mom after the second and third baby arrive. By that time the romance of being a modern 'superwoman' wears off and reality sets in.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will any marriage happy or unhappy is infinitely more interesting than any romance however passionate.

Romance is tempestuous. Love is calm.

I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.

Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
