"My illusions range from romance to rowdiness."
"There's a bit of a strange twist to my ending ? I won't say what. I was anxious not to abandon the romance, the fairy tale, the magic in this ballet but at the same time I wanted to reach that from an everyday world, for him to create that romantic notion of an ideal woman for himself ? not to go skipping through some fairy-tale woods and stumble across an enchanted swan-woman."
"Sake is served best slightly chilled, at 56-58 degrees. When you heat it, you take away the elegance and beauty that generations of families have used to produce it. It's like a really good cognac. It takes years to produce it. There's great romance to it, but more importantly, I love the flavor profile of it. It's complex in its simplicity. When you taste them all lined up, you really begin to understand. You're opening your eyes to a whole new world, and I'm looking forward to doing it in Vail."
"Every encounter with a woman must be viewed as a negotiation, ... the difference being instead of coaxing them off rooftops, you're coaxing them into romance. And remember, the negotiator is always in control."
"True Romance."
"Lying increases the creative faculties . . . It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forbearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that it falls so short of in fact and in deeds."
"I’ve been offered a lot but I want to stay away from romance, comedies and fluffy work. I met Stephen Spielberg at a breast cancer benefit and he explained that he’d seen me on Saturday Night Live and thought I was ready for a movie. He said, ‘You go to the ledge and are unafraid to jump off.’ That was the biggest compliment to me because he was saying I was free."
"We get a lot of romance books, and we always have a good selection of paperbacks."
"I've had many, but I'll have to say when alcohol kills the romance ? in fact, when alcohol kills everything, if you know what I mean."
"In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes"
