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.

I think Bach is equally a romantic composer because he laid the seeds harmonically for people like Chopin and the great Romantics Brahms so it's difficult to you know all this like labelling and putting - I think Bach is attractive to musicians because he supersedes the labels.

You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts because they probably think I'm this dark twisted miserable person.

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

When I read the script I liked the script very much and I thought it was a marvelous part for her because I think it is a change of pace. I mean we know how wonderful she is in romantic comedy.

The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred I mean a thousand scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny.

Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.

No actually 'The Host' was totally a palate-cleanser for me. I wanted to do something a little bit different than romantic love. Romantic love is in there obviously because I enjoy writing about that and living it a lot.

I always wanted a guitar. I always wanted to be a cowboy singer because I also listened to Hank Williams and he would always sing these neat romantic songs.
